Background

CGT Fonction Publique is the umbrella coordinating the CGT trade union's federations across the French civil service. On 15 September 2026 it rejected the negotiating timetable proposed for a cross-civil-service AI agreement .

Its objection cited an April 2026 government inspectorate report finding that 20% of French public employees, 1.13 million people, work in posts exposed to AI. The union treats that figure as grounds for a slower, more thorough negotiation than the government had scheduled.

The evidence bundle does not show whether talks have since resumed on a revised timetable, so this page will update once that is recorded.
