The secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, the only candidate for his succession, was re-elected Thursday at the head of the first French union.
Mr. Berger was re-elected as a member of the National Bureau by 96.68% of the votes cast by congressmen (3.32% against). The 42 members of the national office then elected him secretary general with 100% of the votes.
He had obtained 94.42% of the votes in Rennes four years ago.
Mr. Berger, 53, has been number one in the CFDT since 2012. He has already announced that he will not complete his term. “At the CFDT, there is a rule, (to stay) around ten years, more or less two” years, he said last week.
Marylise Léon, his deputy general secretary since 2018, is expected to succeed him.
