It is a rule that is generally not denied in social negotiations: everything is played in the final sprint. Modernization of social dialogue, it began by checking … before rolling over. After skating long time, the discussion initiated by the social partners in the fall at the request of the government began to really move these past two days.
This is not to say that everything has been resolved with a magic wand, but the changes made by the MEDEF and UPA in both texts they have successively passed to unions Thursday morning and Friday morning changed the climate of discussion.
Although early in the evening on Friday, the wait has taken over a time punctuated by cheers journalists playing football with trade unionists to pass the time. But after a pause that began at 6:30 p.m. ET lasted nearly 12 hours, the meeting ended with a statement of disagreement …. The dialogue is not broken but here that will spoil the mood of the wishes of the President of the Republic to economic forces and actors of employment, Monday morning.
“We may be on the right road, but the road is difficult,” , commented Joseph Thouvenel, CFTC, at the end of the meeting on Saturday just before 6 am. Saubot Alexander, head of the employers’ delegation, he was optimistic, however, wanted: “we are very close to an agreement, we will continue to work” , has he told the outcome of the negotiations. He said he had proposed to the unions to end up next week. But no date has been fixed as the government announced that Accord or not, it would present a bill to parliament in the second quarter.
The day was Friday yet started well. “We said, reassured” , highlighted in the afternoon on Friday Alexandre Saubot after trading on the document MEDEF-UPA back on table to 13 hours. Sign of climate change in these two days of discussion, 18: 30 pm, at the second break of the day, the two union camps began to emerge yesterday were confirmed.
Marie-Alice Medeuf-Andrieu, the negotiator Workers Power, continued to reject outright the employers’ proposals, saying it was not about to spend the night negotiate while a new business project was announced at 21 pm: “I have a mandate of my organization is ended slavery! “ Sans from though. Agnès Le Bot, his counterpart of the CGT, who had made overtures to the start of trading, seriously clamped down, as predicted positioning the “possible future Secretary General” of the central Philippe Martinez, as it describes itself: “This is a negotiation that, instead of open, closes more» , she lamented.
In contrast, among other unions, we obviously wanted to move forward. In the early evening, Marie-Françoise Leflon, GSC, thought “neither optimistic nor pessimistic” so “less pessimistic” , although it stressed being away the account. The text is too “fuzzy” and fears “a lessening of employee representation” , said Marylise Leon, the leader of the CFDT. But she also pointed developments. “We do not advance small” , while “It is extremely laborious” .
The word was well chosen. Promised for 21 hours, the third draft text of this trading session over two days was still not finalized on Saturday at 6 am. Appointments bilateral committed as of Thursday evening, according Workers Power, very unhappy, have succeeded with the CFDT – many – but also with the CFTC – slightly less – and with the GSC – in the end. The appointment of Marie-Françoise Leflon Alexandre Saubot was completed shortly before 5 am but half an hour later, the discussions continued to stumble with the central executive including amendments to the employer with project téléscopaient those of the CFDT. For their part, the Workers Force and CGT were protesting not to be associated with the negotiations. “We have made proposals, bilateral asked, but we got nothing at all” , complained in the morning the CGT-Alain Alphon Layre.
The first text presented on table Thursday was yet possible to unlock the discussions dealing finally the representation of employees of employers with fewer than 11 employees from the quadrennial elections representativeness in TPE whose first edition was in 2013. The employers front had lost along the way one of its members: the CGPME. But for their part, CFDT and CGC had stopped buttress on the conservation of a specific instance on hygiene, safety and working conditions. The new version that arrived Friday MEDEF and craftsmen of the UPA had not introduced another major break, but bit by bit, she continued to make changes to meet union demands. She had particularly raised ambiguity on the prerogatives of the Works Council that would replace the works councils and health committees, safety and current working conditions: “The works council has the right to use the same expertise that the current staff representative bodies (EC, HSC) w hich it takes the missions “, specified the text distributed to Friday unions.
Trading was also advanced on hygiene, safety and working conditions. Okay now on the principle, CFTC and CGC nevertheless continued to request that the commission created within the future Business Council which would replace the HSC is compulsory for all employers with more than 50 employees and not of 300 employees as required MEDEF. Not the CFDT which estimated that in any case these issues would be forgotten as they would be part of the Works Council duties. Among the persistent hard points included in particular the reduction of resources allocated to elected officials. The latest business project had made an effort, but still very limited on the subject Friday. Thus, for example, the delegation of hours quota was increased from 1080 to 1296 for companies with 75-99 employees. But it was still quite insufficient, believed all unions. They were also headwind against the fact that the trade union representatives in the companies now in the name of the Works Council and not on behalf of their organization and still hold the shutter notoriously insufficient for recovery of the path of elected officials and union representatives.
