The TechnipFMC group has renegotiated its European Works Council agreement, which was concluded for a fixed term, and replaced it by a new agreement lasting indefinitely, which was signed on 19 December 2023. The agreement covers the EU, the EEA and the United Kingdom. The council will meet twice a year, and in principle these ordinary meetings will be held in person. In addition, it will be consulted in exceptional circumstances only, where at least 15% of the workforce in each of the countries concerned are affected, via extraordinary meeting(s) held online. Members are entitled to one day’s training per year, delivered online. The EWC is entitled to use the services of an expert in exceptional circumstances only, and only if such services are “absolutely necessary”. The Council Secretary will be assigned 40 hours per annum to carry out their work, while the other members will each have 24 hours. The text states that once the relevant technologies are deemed to have reached maturity, the parties intend to use automatic interpreting facilities at meetings held only in English.
