The complaint Confédération générale du travail (CGT) v. France, 154/2017 was registered on 28 July 2017. It relates to article 4§2 (right to a fair remuneration) of the Revised European Social Charter. The CGT alleges that French law 2016-1088 authorising the arrangement of working time for a term superior to a week and to extend it up to 3 years is contrary to the Charter because it deprives workers from their rights to fair remuneration and, in particular, to an increased rate of remuneration for overtime work.
