Employees who called a strike during the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival denounced promises “not up to par” with their demands on Thursday, after a meeting with public authorities.
The movement launched by a group of “precarious film festival workers” calls for the affiliation of all film festival employees to the intermittent regime, to guarantee their income. They say that representatives of festivals and unions have joined this demand.
But “the Ministries of Culture and Labor have rejected any hypothesis of exceptional measures to quickly resolve the problem of living standards,” he lamented in a statement.
It is not up to scratch
Integration into the intermittent regime has been postponed until the creation of a future collective agreement, which would take several months.
This work should begin to define minimum salary scales based on the size of the festivals, regulate schedules or advance social security coverage, but in the meantime the group is asking for transitional measures.
“The response given does not seem to us to be up to the situation in which hundreds of workers find themselves. We do not renounce our demands,” the group, supported by the CFDT, the CGT Shows or the CGT, concludes in a statement. even the parallel selections at the Cannes Film Festival.
Contacted by AFP, the Ministry of Culture and the Cannes Festival did not immediately respond.
