The CFDT has released Monday its consolidated accounts, "a first in labor history" according to the Central Francois Chereque, which provide a complete picture of its activity and its heritage.
These consolidated financial statements, approved as such by the auditors and for the fiscal year 2010, show "good financial health" of the CFDT, which posted a net profit of 3.38 million euros, declared its national secretary Anousheh Karvar during a press briefing.
For the first time this year, all trade unions and employers whose annual resources are greater than 230,000 euros are required to publish consolidated accounts, available on the website of the Ministry of Labour, under the law of 20 August 2008 reforming rules of representativeness of trade unions.
From these accounts, it appears that internal resources represent 76% of the total. Ms. Karvar sees the result of "choice of financial policy to empower its autonomy" to the Confederation and its peripheral structures (training centers, consumer association, real estate companies).
Last year, "the CFDT has raised 77.6 million euros in contributions, including 21 assigned to the budget confederal" according to a press release.10.5 million in its resources come from grants and contributions received.
The consolidated balance sheet showed a $ 309 million of equity on total assets of 353 million, a slight increase compared to 2009 (306 million).
"Part of these funds cover specific commitments of the National Trade Union Action vis-à-vis members of the CFDT: compensation in a strike, legal support and insurance business in particular" the statement said.
