Strike lifted after ADT and Aviation Security sign MoU • TNTV Tahiti Nui Télévision

‘It’s a good withdrawal agreement and we are happy with it’ This is how Cyril Le Gayic, a representative of the CSIP, summed up after the signing of the memorandum of understanding to end the conflict, which ended the nearly one-month strike of ADT. In the opinion of trade unionists, the personal involvement of the President of Polynesia at the negotiation table is not unrelated to the lifting of the blockade. “He came with his entire cabinet and it impressed them (…) When they saw the president come in, we saw progress on the demand side”.

For its part, ADT management said “Glad to have found a compromise for everyone” and “Find a positive environment that supports all employees returning to work”In a press release, ADT management acknowledged “Long and difficult discussions (…)” And recall that ADT spared no effort, “Fulfill every appointment set for the negotiations”.

Thanks to the management “All employees, with their commitment, ensure the continuity of services for users and passengers under conditions of compliance in terms of safety, security and regional connectivity”.

As for the two aviation security companies, Tahiti Sécurité and South Pacific Sécurité, which have been on strike for more than three weeks, negotiations with the directors have also been successful. The A Tia I Mua union is satisfied with the formalization of the 13th month and the establishment of a framework to respond to numerous demand points such as PPI (Personal Performance Bonus) or clothing bonuses. Finally, the establishment of mutual insurance must be discussed. A work that must continue for several months.

“If the movement lasted so long, it was because the agents there were prepared (…), rain or shine, but three weeks of strikes is nothing, and I take my hat off to them” said Avaiki Teuiau, secretary general of A Ti’a i Mua. “If we had more labor inspectors in Polynesia, this campaign might not have lasted as long.” She believes that there is no doubt that the intervention of the Ministry of Labour and the interministerial delegate for social dialogue, Pierre Frébaud, has made a great contribution to unblocking the discussions.
