The Framatome establishment at Le Creusot (6 allée Jean-Perrin, 71200 Le Creusot) and its representative unions CFDT, CFE-CGC and CGT have concluded avenant n° 3 on adapting work organisation to workload, signed 29 June 2026Legifrance after negotiations held between 20 April and 11 June 2026. The text consolidates the 8 January 2013 accord and its avenants of 9 June 2016 and 3 April 2026, incorporating the new amendments. It applies to all Non-Cadre and Cadre employees of the Le Creusot establishment
Legifrance, runs for an indefinite period
Legifrance, and takes effect on 1 October 2026
Legifrance, replacing all prior collective accords, practices and unilateral commitments on work flexibility and weekend-team organisation at the site.
The backdrop is the revival of the nuclear sector: rising activity at the Creusot plant and the Forge+ project under study require flexible rostering while preserving safety, quality and deadlines. Adaptation rests primarily on voluntary participationLegifrance — each employee declares forecast availability for the coming months, kept in a monthly planning schedule — and covers weekend overtime, team changes, shift-pattern (marche) changes and cross-sector post changes.
Weekend overtime is triggered Friday afternoon or Friday night first, then Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon, with one calendar week's notice for foreseeable high load and notice by Wednesday end-of-shift for unforeseen disruptions; a volunteer may not be called for weekend-overtime shifts more than five times a year unless they wish itLegifrance. Team changes within the same shift pattern carry one week's minimum notice
Legifrance and a per-event team-change bonus
Legifrance. Shift-pattern changes are capped at three per employee per calendar year unless volunteered
Legifrance, with two weeks' minimum notice (one month for weekend-pattern moves) after information and consultation of the establishment comité social et économique
Legifrance.
A new adaptation bonus tops up the existing shift-pattern premium: 2% to 5% of base salary plus seniority bonus depending on the pattern moved from and toLegifrance — for example, a Press-shop employee in the 3x8 14-post pattern receives 3% on top of the 14% pattern premium (17% total), and 5% adaptation plus the 10% pattern premium (15% total) when moved to the 2x8 Presse pattern. Where a pattern change cuts pay by 2% or more, a degressive pay-maintenance mechanism applies
Legifrance.
Weekend relief teams run in two patterns — VSD (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and SD (Saturday, Sunday)Legifrance — on renewable 26-week assignments
Legifrance, with a stated aim of no more than 52 consecutive weeks per employee
Legifrance, protected entry/exit transition periods, fixed pay elements maintained, and paid-leave conversion at 25 reference days to 14 weekend-pattern days
Legifrance. During shutdown periods, volunteers called in for maintenance receive a weekly availability bonus
Legifrance; where a major workload disruption overturns validated leave, volunteers also earn one extra leave day per full week shifted
Legifrance. Disputes go to amicable settlement first; revision follows article L.2261-7 of the code du travail, and denunciation requires three months' notice
Legifrance.
Legal basis: avenant n° 3 à l'accord relatif à l'adaptation de l'organisation du travail des salariés à la charge de l'établissement Framatome Le Creusot, signed 29 June 2026, effective 1 October 2026Legifrance
Legifrance.
At Framatome Le Creusot, roster volunteers first for weekend overtime and pattern changes from 1 October 2026, apply the 2–5% adaptation bonus and the 26-week VSD/SD assignment rules, and consult the establishment CSE before any collective pattern change.
