The management of the French group Suez signed, on July 3, 2007, three transnational collective agreements (see our dispatch 070580) one of them is about "Employment and Expertise Plan" (GPEC). The goal is to "reduce differences between the company’s requirements and resources both on a quantitative (workforce) and qualitative (skills) level". (Ref. 070609)
This agreement was signed by the group’s European work’s council (the European Consultative Committee – ECC) and representative union organizations in the agreement’s field of application (the European union,) that is to say the five French trade union organizations (CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC, CGT, FO,) the European Trade Union Confederation, represented by its European federation of public service union (EPSU) and European Manager (CEC). The agreement will be directly enforced in all of the group’s companies located in the EU and will have to be introduced in the year following the signature.
