Energy agent tariff reform: unions suspend their movement

The energy unions (CGT, CFE-CGC, CFDT, FO) announced this Monday that they were suspending their call to toughen up their movement against the proposed reform of their preferential energy tariff (nicknamed “agent tariff”), believing that they had “set the government back”.

“The government will not retain in 2027 any developments having an impact on the pay slips of active agents in the electricity and gas industries and on the financial resources of retired agents, both from a fiscal and social point of view,” indicates the government in a letter addressed to the unions, co-signed by the Minister for Energy Maud Bregeon and the Minister of Labor Jean-Pierre Farandou, which AFP was able to consult.

“Given the commitments obtained, the interfederal is suspending its call to toughen up the movement from October 6,” she said in a press release.
