Newsletter #143 – Teleworking in danger – Imposed paid holidays – May-June CSE in brief – Did you know? Discovery membership

The CFDT representatives wish you a great summer vacation and remain mobilized during this summer break, particularly regarding the company’s teleworking policy.

We have all recently received several emails

This also confirms the information from our latest newsletter (the CSE article in brief, Employee Rights section). 

However, the French management wants to comply with the Group’s guidelines. To do this, they have two options: 

  • Amend the current agreement (as was done to introduce the 50%) and obtain the signature of at least 50% of the labor unions. 
  • Terminate  and reopen negotiations for a new agreement:
    • If no agreement is signed, the terminated agreement will still apply for 15 months.
    • If an agreement is reached, it will replace the old one.

During the last Works Council meeting, management announced their intention to terminate the current agreement. This calls into question the following arrangements: 

  • 60% teleworking
  • Full-Remote for those who live near Amadeus sites.
  • Flexibility of monthly accumulation even in case of leave due to the mandatory presence of 2 days per week.
  • The European Works Council has been informed of the implementation of tools to monitor employees’ workplace.

The CFDT is questioning, on the one hand, the reasons that motivate management to terminate an agreement that, according to them, still met the Group’s requirements a few months ago. On the other hand, the CFDT remains adamant about respecting the legislation in the application of these tools. 

We need you. Together, we will be better equipped to argue during negotiations with management and defend everyone’s interests. 

Please share your comments/suggestions/questions.

Opinions on teleworking

As a reminder, you can find information about your current teleworking options under your Workday profile -> Job. Click on the last tab ‘Flexible Work Arrangement’ (depending on your screen, it might be under ‘More’).

Paid leave imposed during the end-of-year period

Management is legally entitled to impose paid leave known as the ‘5th week of paid leave‘ under the following conditions: 

  • Inform and consult the CSE representatives 
  • Inform employees with a notice period 
Management has fully complied with these conditions:

As a reminder, in Newsletter #141, we asked for your opinion on the project to better represent you during the consultation.

  • Consultation and opinion of the CSE on March 28 (item 6)
    • The representatives sanctioned the principle with an unfavorable opinion, regretting and disapproving the loss of flexibility while being aware of the issues related to building management. 
      Note: The CSE vote is only consultative, and management can unilaterally impose this implementation. 
  • Information to employees by email on July 4

May and June CSE in brief

What happened at the last three CSE 2025 meetings on May 23, June 19 and June 27.

Health & Security
  • The SSCT Commission (Health, Safety and Working Conditions) met on June 26 in Paris. The report is expected in July. More information in our next newsletter.
Social & Economics 
  • The Economic Commission, which met on April 29, presented its report to the representatives during the CSE on May 23. 
  • On June 27, an expert appointed by the representatives presented the report on the company’s 2025 strategic orientations, supplemented by a study on the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) within the company. 
  • In June and July, respectively, the assessments on the 2024 economic and financial situation and the 2024 salary policy were launched. The reports are expected in early September, with consultation and opinion at the CSE on September 26.
  • Once again this year, all 106 requests for Annualized Part-Time have been accepted. As this number exceeds the current agreement’s quota, management wishes to reopen negotiations on the selection criteria.   
    • 88% chose option 1: 4 weeks off, which is 90.74%  
    • 12% chose option 2: 4 weeks off + every Wednesday off, which is 71.49% 

The CFDT thanks management for once again exceeding the 1% quota (about 40 people). However, the CFDT will remain vigilant about the terms of a future agreement, which may be more restrictive.
