Employees and apprentices, whatever their nationality, in construction companies with fewer than 11 employees are called to vote from March 22 to April 4, 2021.
In Haute-Loire, the construction, building, wood and furniture sector has 1,700 employees in these Very Small Enterprises (TPE).
“Their already particularly difficult working conditions have deteriorated with the health crisis,” said the CGT union. “In the department, for example, only five restaurants welcome construction workers on presentation of a professional card so that they can enjoy a hot meal.”
For employees who do not have a staff representative in their companies, the CGT demands an increase in the monthly salary to bring it to a minimum of 1,800 euros gross, retirement at 60 or even at 55 for those who exercise the trades most painful. “Travel time must be paid as working time and health and safety conditions reinforced.”
As part of the elections, the employees of the construction very small and medium-sized enterprises are called upon to elect their representative to ensure that their rights are respected in the regional inter-professional joint committee CPRI set up for 4 years.
Michel Lotfi, who installs and repairs elevators, will be a candidate for the CGT in the department. “With the experience of his previous mandate, he will continue to defend the employees of the construction VSEs whose rights are inferior to those of the employees of the large companies. He will participate in various negotiations, particularly those for collective agreements. “
