Major Strike by Electricians and Gas Workers to Preserve Preferential Rates
Enedis and GRDF employees mobilize against an energy ministry plan to revise their rate advantages.
A significant mobilization of electricians and gas workers has been launched after the energy ministry proposed revising the "employee rate," a preferential electricity and gas rate offered to workers in the sector.
This benefit represents a substantial part of the compensation for Enedis and GRDF employees. The ministry has not confirmed a specific timeline for this revision, but the announcement triggered a swift response from labor unions in the sector.
