The company has just signed a new agreement with three union organizations to improve the quality of life at work.
Could the four-day week change the situation and build loyalty among RATP employees? To better meet the expectations of its current employees and attract new ones, the company worked for a year with union organizations on quality of life and working conditions. HAS”Our turnover is very low with around 1000 resignations per year – out of 45,000 within the parent company, Epic. It is lower than that of the entire market but it tends to increase and we decided to work on this subject “, explains Jean Aghulon, the RATP HR director.
The agreement signed by three representative trade union organizations (FO, CFE CGC, Unsa) for three years firstly concerns an experiment with the four-day week. Since January 18, 170 volunteers from metro lines 5,7,9 and RER B have been testing a new work organization. Station and station agents as well as controllers, whose work schedule is usually five or six days of work followed by three days or two days of rest on cycles of 42 days, increase to four days worked s followed by two days of rest. HAS” In this context, we are not increasing the daily working hours”, specifies Mireille Majerczyk, director of services and multimodal spaces (SEM). Supervisory and control agents can do 4 days of work and 3 days of rest. The daily working time then increased from 7:15 to 8:30. They can also opt for the first formula without increasing working hours.

5000 agents potentially affected
A first assessment of this experiment should be drawn up in May to decide whether to extend it until October or extend it to other services. Ultimately, if this pace of work was retained, it could concern 5,000 RATP agents. The agreement signed by the three union organizations also concerns housing for employees whose home in the Paris region is sometimes very far from their place of work. The RATP plans to facilitate access to social housing for 1,100 families in 2024 and to increase this number to 1,200 families in 2027. The number of nursery places close to home must also be doubled , increasing from 40 to 70 places for employees who are parents of young children who work on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Furthermore, the premises dedicated to employees of around ten terminals must be renovated. Another measure this time relating to the arduousness in maintenance workshops, exoskeletons must be deployed to prevent workplace accidents.
Finally, RATP is setting up training programs for local managers in order to improve social dialogue. Management also notes that it must be more ” inclusive towards women HAS”. Of Epic’s 45,000 employees, around 20% are women. Actions against harassment, violence and discrimination must also be generalized.
