All of La Poste’s representative trade unions — CFDT, CGT, FO and CFE-CGC — have signed the 2025–2027 professional equality agreement, repeating their support from 2022, with only Sud-PTT opting out. Struck on 17 July, it retains the essence of the previous version while providing for new measures such as the provision of female hygiene products, flexible working hours for people undergoing gender transition, and awareness campaigns on gender-specific conditions: endometriosis, menopause, breast cancer and prostate cancer.
