CEO declares war on AFP staff, CGT, FO, SUD, CFE-CGC unions call for strike

By announcing Friday his intention to cancel all the 117 collective bargaining agreements on wages and benefits for staff working under French labour contracts, CEO Emmanuel Hoog has declared war on AFP’s staff.

RTT days off, holiday, working hours and conditions, wages, career plans — all of this will be in jeopardy if the CEO carries out his threat.

Journalists, administrative and technical staff — all employees need to mobilize to say NO to cutting our wages and benefits, to say NO to cancelling the social agreements.
