While to date the metallurgy sector has been operating under 78 separate collective agreements, on 7 February 2022 the employers’ federation UIMM and three representative trade unions, CFDT, FO, and CFE- CGC, signed a new single national sector agreement. After an almost 6-year period of negotiations until the end of December 2021, a single national text has been written down and will come into force in 2024. This collective agreement, which will concern 1.5 million employees, should in particular enable the streamlining of job classifications and the introduction of a minimum social protection scheme.
