Corsican officials meet with unions

Gilles Giovanangeli met with trade union organizations at the Corsican Collectivity on October 14 as part of preparations for the next social conference, set for 2027. The unions involved included STC, CGT, CFDT, FO, UNSA, and CGC.

Business groups also involved

In the afternoon, business organizations such as the Medef, the U2P, and the CPME were also received by officials. These groups represent various sectors of the private economy in Corsica.

Key topics of discussion

Among the topics discussed were the 200 essential products, with a lack of communication around the program being notably noted. The unions emphasized the need for housing, wages, and precariousness to play a more important role in the revision of the Corsican Development and Sustainable Development Plan (PADDUC).

Focus on social aspects

Marie-José Salvatori, a representative of the CFDT and vice-president of the Corsican Economic, Social, Environmental and Cultural Council (CESECC), explained that the previous PADDUC was very environmental and that this one must be more focused on the social. She also expressed hopes that social partners would be able to participate in its development.

Communication and progress

The unions were told that a communication service would be set up, especially as new stores should be affiliated, particularly in rural areas. Social partners are still waiting for the conclusions of the report by Paul-André Colombani, who is in charge of the fuel file.

Local events and initiatives

In Upper Corsica, three firefighter interventions took place, rescuing five people. In Ajaccio, an accident near the Ceccaldi gas station left one person trapped.

Renaming and community activities

In Bastia, the Erbajolo stadium was renamed the Dominique Ventimila stadium. During the All Saints' holiday, the CAB proposed sports activities for young people in the Grand Bastia.

Youth engagement and working groups

In Corsica, eight working groups were established to transform the demands of high school students into concrete actions. These groups aim to address student concerns and translate them into policy and community initiatives.
