April 2025: Work stoppages in French ports suspended

March 31, 2025,

Please be advised that the Fédération Nationale des Ports et Docks C.G.T  has just announced the suspension of all strike actions planned for the month of April 2025.
 

Update of March 25, 2025
 

The Fédération Nationale des Ports et Docks C.G.T. (National Federation of Ports and Docks C.G.T.) has filed a strike notice following two meetings (on March 14 and 24, 2025) with the Ministries of Transport and Labour, Matignon (Prime Minister's office), and employers regarding pension reform.

As the parties have not yet reached an agreement, the federation has validated a strike notice including:

• A halt to overtime and exceptional shifts starting April 1, 2025.
• A 72-hour work stoppage on April 2, 3, and 4, including a "Dead Ports" operation on April 2.
• 48-hour work stoppages each subsequent week, with the exact dates to be communicated every Thursday.

The Fédération Nationale des Ports et Docks C.G.T. states that it is open to resuming negotiations if new elements are brought forward by the government.

Rest assured that our teams are mobilized to offer you alternative solutions to minimize, as much as possible, the impact of these disruptions on your operations.

We will keep you informed of any new directives that may be communicated to us by the FNPD C.G.T. and remain at your disposal for any additional assistance.
