Summary

Mrs. Mathilde Feld questions the Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans on the persistent difficulties encountered by the aeronautical industrial workshop (AIA) of Bordeaux concerning the attractiveness of the establishment and the loyalty of its staff. The AIA is a state establishment of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, strategic for the autonomy of national defense. By being an expert in repair and maintenance in operational condition of aircraft engines of the French army, it allows the State to keep control of the level of expenditure for this maintenance in operational condition and therefore, to exercise a counter-power role against large private defense companies. This establishment faces problems regarding the retention of its staff. Over the past two years, more than 40 qualified state workers have chosen to resign. These Difficulties are mainly linked to the drop in remuneration offered by the Ministry of the Armed Forces compared to those practiced in the private sector. The evolution of the salary slips of state workers is indexed to the evolution of the index point of civil servants, this having been frozen for many years. In fact, a large number of AIA employees question their economic interests, despite their deep attachment to a public defense service. In addition to frozen salaries, the salary progression of a state worker is also linked to the recognition of acquired professional experience and therefore to their advancement. Currently, while the regulations allow advancement after two years for the first change of group, this does not occur before 5 years, but more generally 7/8 years on average, due to the simple fact the lack of positions allocated to the establishment. In fact, the number of positions budgeted each year does not cover all of the establishment's needs. Furthermore, a system such as the zone reduction, supposed to take into account the cost of living depending on the geographical location of workers, reduces the remuneration of Bordeaux residents by 2.7% less than their Parisian counterparts (for example), although it seems difficult to affirm that today Bordeaux is a cheap city in terms of access to housing. It therefore wishes to know what strategy it intends to put in place to finally succeed in retaining the loyalty of state workers who hold strategic skills for sovereignty in matters of national defense. More precisely, she asks him about the arrangements that could be put in place regarding status, salary or opportunities. advancement to allow state workers to pursue a long career within the AIA.
