The departmental assembly of Alpes-Maritimes voted this Friday during its assembly on a resolution that provides for the removal of 11 RTT days and 3 vacation days for its 4,500 agents as its president Eric Ciotti announced. It will take effect from January 1, 2016.
It is known that Eric Ciotti sees any laws or decisions attributed to the socialist government like a bull sees (or doesn’t see…) red.
The issue of working time is a topic of great current relevance, and the Combrexelle report on labor law highlights it as a blocking issue and recommends negotiated flexibility.
The opportunity was too good not to make a resounding impact against a law bearing the name of Martine Aubry, voted in 2000, and which, according to Eric Ciotti, has disorganized the public service.
In practice, it is a matter of revoking acquired benefits: agents will return to the legal weekly working hours (1,607 annualized hours) by eliminating three days of annual leave. Today, they work 1,568 hours.
For the RTTs, which were introduced with the shift to a 35-hour workweek, the department will halve the days that can currently be credited each year for overtime, reducing the maximum number of RTTs to 11 days instead of 22.
This measure follows the net deletion of 340 public sector jobs since 2009 by not replacing two out of three retirements.
By returning to the legal duration, the departmental community will gain the equivalent of 42 full-time jobs. By implementing the reform of the compensatory mechanisms of RTTs, nearly 100 additional full-time equivalents will be achieved.
For the President of the Departmental Council: “Such reinforcement is absolutely necessary to cope with the budgetary shock that is hitting us.”
