Question 1145 — consular chambers

Summary

Mr. Laurent Marcangeli draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for small and medium-sized businesses, commerce, crafts and tourism, to the situation encountered by employees of the Chambers of Trades and Crafts (CMA). Indeed, CMA agents have their remuneration set by a national joint commission resulting from the law of 1952 (CPN52), which determines the value of their index point. However, on June 28, 2022, these staff were informed that they will not benefit from its revaluation to the same level as the index point for civil servants: 2.5% for CMA agents, whose value of the index point has been blocked for more than 11 years, compared to 3.5% for that of civil servants, frozen for 5 years. It has therefore been 11 years since the purchasing power of these agents is deteriorating: as of 2020, a study by the Arthur Hunt firm pointed to remuneration 15 to 20% lower than that of the general market. This dynamic is, moreover, accelerating in the current inflationary context. Furthermore, the employing college refuses to automatically apply the individual purchasing power guarantee rate (GIPA), the only mechanism that would make up for the loss of purchasing power. It is as is of a real blockage of social dialogue, from which the agents of this network suffer, even though it constitutes an essential territorial network in the fields of economy, training and employment. Also, he would like to know if the rate of revaluation of the index point of CMA agents will soon be aligned with that of the civil service. In addition, he questions the automation of the GIPA system and, more generally, the conditions of social dialogue within the CMA network. He would therefore like to learn about the measures that the Government intends to put in place to remedy this situation and thus respond to the concerns of employees of this essential network.
