FO considerations
FO takes note of the changes obtained during these negotiations in response to our demands.
These measures will make it possible to compensate for the specific constraints of the Emirates A380 WP in Toulouse.
Beyond the financial aspect, FO will remain vigilant to ensure that the commitments concerning work/life balance are met in the long term.
In addition, when negotiations are reopened at the beginning of 2024 on the global agreement on « Working Party, technical assistance and testing », FO will continue to make proposals with the aim of improving the provisions common to all programmes and broadening the scope of application of certain measures.
In view of the progress achieved for these employees, FO has therefore assumed its responsibilities and signed this agreement.
