At its Board meeting on June 24, CESI welcomed the French union SNSPP-PATS as a new observer at CESI.
Founded in 1975, the French Syndicat National des Sapeurs-Pompiers Professionnels et Personnels Administratifs Techniques et Spécialisés (SNSPP-PATS) is a non-partisan independent nation-wide French trade union representing firefighters and administrative, technical and specialised personnel in fire brigades.
CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: “I am glad to welcome the SNSPP-PATS as an observer to CESI and look forward to fruitful cooperation. CESI has for long been a voice for firefighters and their employment and working conditions. The proper regulation of their working and resting time has been a particular focus of CESI. The competence and sectoral expertise of the SNSPP-PATS will further reinforce CESI’s voice in the representation of the interests of employees and civil servants in administrations and public services, and in fire brigades in particular.”
