Overview
- Delegates approved Léon’s activity report with more than 86% support and re-elected her on Thursday, June 25, 2026, giving her a four-year mandate to steer the CFDT.
- The congress confirmed a 41-member national bureau, reconducted Yvan Ricordeau as deputy secretary-general, and named Laurent Soulier as confederal treasurer.
- Léon told the congress she will refuse meetings with RN elected officials and pledged the CFDT will oppose the party’s ideas and actions in the political arena.
- Delegates are set to vote on a 'résolution revendicative' that will serve as the CFDT’s programmatic roadmap for the next four years and shape its stance in the 2027 presidential campaign.
- The result reinforces a CFDT strategy that favors negotiation with employers and government on issues like pensions, work and AI, and it comes as major unions shift to female leadership across France.
