On July 2, an ongoing negotiation was held regarding the renewal of the CCNL Local Functions contract for 2022-2024. The main topic of discussion was salary increases, specifically, Aran’s proposal to reduce the compartment allowance in favor of a salary increase and a reduction in decentralized resources. This operation would result in a transfer from a maximum of 17.00 euros gross for officers to a minimum of 11.00 euros gross for operators on the table salary.
However, the unions deem the proposal insufficient as they believe it requires certain funds for a fair contract. They have always reiterated their willingness for a new discussion. As a result, Aran has interrupted the negotiation by only introducing the possibility, not an obligation, of exceeding the ceiling of the accessory salary. This implies that the discussion around the proposed changes is not concluded and it also indicates a potential future revision in the salary structure, keeping in mind the concerns raised by the unions.
Essentially, Aran’s proposal suggests a shift in income sources for local functionaries: rather than relying heavily on a “compartment allowance” (decentralized resources for particular departmental needs), they would see a direct increase in their salaries, albeit offset by a reduction in those resources. This proposal is not met with approval by the unions, which are advocating for assured funds to ensure a fairer contract.
In the midst of these disagreements, Aran has put forward a potential step above the present limit on additional salary (salary accessory). However, it should be noted that this step does not represent a compulsory change, but opens up an option for further salary adjustments. The dynamics of these negotiations indicate a complex balancing act between direct salary provisions and the allotment of additional financial resources in the local functions sector.
