EDF employees called for a strike this Tuesday, January 30. Target shown? Encourage management to return to the negotiating table on wage issues. Will know on the day “Load shedding (power generation) and shutdown of units (nuclear reactors) which are under maintenance”According to Arnaud Barlet, CFE-CGC Central Union Secretary for EDF, excluding any power cuts. “Results are for the company’s money”It assures.
When questioned by AFP, management also assured that customers would not suffer the cuts: “If the RTE (manager of high voltage lines) realizes that there may be an imbalance in terms of supply and demand, he can ask for the reactor load to be increased and the staff is required to do so.”
“Anger at management’s position on pay measures is very present”, underlines CGT for its part, while individual measures have so far been announced for an increase of +1.5%. CFE-CGC wants 4%, CGT 2.3%.
The Croiss nuclear power plant (Ardeche), one of the reactors under maintenance was scheduled to restart this week, has been on strike since late December. Others may follow on Tuesdays, like Bugey, in Ain.
