Public service unions are preparing a “unitary” day of mobilization in March, to denounce the government’s policy on the remuneration of public agents, they announced on Friday. “For lack of sufficient investment, the policy currently pursued by the government continues to weaken the public service and the public service missions that it assumes,” assert in a press release the eight organizations representing the public sector (CGT, FO, CFDT, Unsa, FSU, Solidaires, CFE-CGC, FA-FP).
“The trade union organizations denounce in particular the absence of programming of general measures concerning the remuneration” of the 5.7 million public employees in France. “In the absence of the opening of salary negotiations for 2024, the representative union organizations will meet again in January to decide on the modalities of a day of unitary mobilization for the month of March,” indicates the inter-union.
After having granted general increases of 3.5% in 2022 and 1.5% in 2023, the government is ruling out at this stage any new general salary measure for the year 2024. The executive nevertheless plans at the start of next year to distribute five “index points” (one of the two main components of remuneration) to all public officials at the start of next year.
A more comprehensive reform of civil servant remuneration policy is also proposed by the Minister of the Civil Service, Stanislas Guerini. It would consist of introducing annual salary negotiations between unions and government, like compulsory annual negotiations (NAO) in companies. But in the event of an agreement between unions and government, this would only apply to salaries for the following year, representative organizations have been warning for several weeks.

The unions therefore fear that even if there is an agreement on salaries in 2024, this concerns salaries for 2025 and that 2024 will therefore be a “blank year” in terms of salaries. Published at the end of October, an INSEE study revealed that between 2011 and 2021, the remuneration of private sector employees had increased more than twice as quickly as that of civil servants. A difference in pace which can be explained in particular by the virtual absence of general increases between 2010 and 2022 - even if bonuses and individual salary measures were able to support the purchasing power of public agents during this period.
