French CFE CGC Public Service Federation becomes a member of CESI

The French CFE CGC Public Service Federation (Fédération des Services Publics CFE CGC) represents public sector personnel in higher and managerial positions, including in the areas of the national civil service (fonction publique d’État), local and regional administrations (fonction publique territoriale) and health care services (fonction publique hospitalière). As such, the federation also represents workers in telecoms and postal services, police forces and fire brigades.

CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: "We welcome the French CFE CGC Public Service Federation wholeheartedly as a further engaged member in the CESI trade union family - committed to strong and developing EU, based on a Single Market with clear social and worker rights as a cornerstone. The CFE CGC Public Service Federation strengthens CESI representativeness in the public services in Europe and adds substantially to CESI's presence in the French trade union landscape. We look forward to successful and continued cooperation and collaboration, for mutual benefits and common strength."
