They had already called a strike in May without the movement causing major disruptions. One month before the start of the Olympic Games, several unions from the ADP group, the manager of the airports serving Paris, are once again putting pressure on their management. They are calling for a strike at the beginning of July if they do not get a financial boost.
“For many months, the CGT, CFDT, FO and UNSA trade union organizations have been asking management for resources to deal with changes in air traffic and the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” indicate the trade union organizations, which issued an “ultimatum”, set for July 5, to their leadership.

They demand in particular “uniform and fair compensation for all agents working during the Olympic Games” and affirm that “discriminatory measures must be replaced by a fair approach”. They also require “a hiring plan adapted to each activity and category of staff”, ensuring that “nearly 1,000 positions are missing”.
Bonuses already paid to RATP and SNCF
While Roissy and Orly airports usually welcome around 350,000 passengers per day during the summer period, the ADP group does not expect to see passenger volumes increase during the Olympics. However, specific measures have been taken to guarantee the reception of athletes, with specific routes and temporary infrastructures.
Employees from several sectors or public companies have successfully mobilized in recent months to obtain activity bonuses in view of the Olympic Games, in particular at the RATP and the SNCF.
