Pierre Gattaz was often mocked for his pin “1 million jobs.” But that pin now has a concrete declination with the document procured “Les Echos” and the MEDEF planned to publish on Wednesday at a press conference. The text of fifty pages entitled “How to restore the momentum of job creation in France? “and lists a range of brakes for employers, should be removed first. Each measure, be it social, fiscal and sometimes very sectoral order is quantified in terms of job creation expected. Among the most iconic are the elimination of holidays, authorization, company by company, to waive the statutory working hours or exemptions to the minimum wage for certain categories of job seekers.

Proposals shocks

Proposals that “certainly appear aggressive or caricatured in some” recognizes the MEDEF in conclusion of his paper. “They are wrong. This is primarily to facilitate a debate [...] Our belief is that we do not have “tried everything against unemployment,” we just tried the market has nowhere and forgot what worked everywhere “, it said.

If it is stimulating debate, the goal will be definitely filled. Employers know that this document will be controversial, it is also the reason that led him not to be disclosed on the MEDEF Summer University at the end of August. The Prime Minister had come there to do a “declaration of love” to businesses. It should therefore not spoil the party. But the honeymoon may be short-lived after the shock revelation of MEDEF proposals

reactions. “A provocation” for CFDT

strong reactions were expected to shattering ideas MEDEF: they fall Monday morning. Lawrence Berger, secretary general of the CFDT, said this on RTL “provocation. “It’s a challenge for two reasons. First on the content of measures: for the CFDT there is no way to go on those lands, “said Mr. Berger.
“And it’s a provocation, because last week, we met with employers’ organizations and trade unions to set a social agenda,” he said. “We discussed modernization of social dialogue, we discussed youth employment, employment of long-term unemployed, and the MEDEF has not discussed these proposals.”

Especially since the week is at high risk for the executive, with the vote of confidence in Prime Minister on Tuesday, and the press conference President of the Republic on Thursday. The executive would certainly passed such a stir on the part of employers, which may complicate the parliamentary vote on the one hand and turn the unions, including the CFDT, though it was ready to discuss topics “no taboo” , as indicated by Laurent Berger there are already several days. “ If the MEDEF comes with unrealistic proposals, it’s not going to help us,” , argued a member of the executive last week.

In the medium term, this could upset the progress of negotiations on the thresholds, set to begin at the end of the month. And also compromise the partial liberalization of Sunday work, the government is preparing to adopt and presented precisely among the proposals of the MEDEF. But Pierre Gattaz, who was elected on an offensive program, the time has come to put proposals on the table and give credibility to its goal of 1 million jobs.
