More union rights. Aiming to strengthen union relations, an “inevitable foundation” for the sector to grow, the agreement improves the local links of employee representation, replacing national agency representation bodies with regional agency representation bodies and providing for a “regional agency representative” for each of the signing unions. The agreement reviews and extends the function of the territorial union committees (CST) and improves equality in the sector. Regarding workers’ union representation in the user company, the number required to set up RSAs in the company where they have been assigned (even if they come from different agencies) goes from 20 down to 15, if they stay in the company for more than 2 months (instead of 3).
