Paris (AFP) – Trade unions and employers have failed to agree Saturday after marathon negotiations to simplify and improve social dialogue in business, but are given a new chance to meet the demand of the government that agreement or not, wants to legislate quickly.
After four months of negotiations and a record sequence (two days and one full night), the employer (MEDEF and UPA) has thrown up at dawn to present new text after reviewing critical yet many unions.
No new meeting date has been set at this stage. CFDT evokes the hypothesis of a meeting during the next week.
“We’ll set another date to continue negotiations and try to lift the blockages that persist, there still has big, “said Joseph Thouvenel (CFTC)
-. Half Unions angry, half-cynical –
” We go to bed all It’s a shame to fail in. these conditions, “lamented Marylise Leon (CFDT).
” We’ll see after the next final session, “” I’m not disappointed, negotiation is not over, ” insisted his side the leader of the delegation of MEDEF Alexandre Saubot.
mid mad unions, disillusioned middle waited for twelve hours a new employer text. It never happened, without clear limits in the ranks of employers on acceptable amendments by its members. But also because “employers could not be between different approaches’ unions seeking to amend the text, explained Marie-Françoise Leflon (CFE-CGC).
On the method (with texts called into session Thursday as Friday) “should have been able to work more quietly,” she lamented.
“We spent the night waiting” to “hear that n ‘there is no text, “said Marie-Alice Medeuf-Andrieu (FO). “That’s the modernization of social dialogue? If that’s the model I pity the employees,” she added. The quality of the employer-employee relationship was precisely in the heart of the negotiations.
To alleviate the constraints of companies and social thresholds, MEDEF and UPA (craftsmen) want to consolidate all representative bodies Staff (Works Council, the Health Committee, safety and working conditions (HSC) and representatives), in companies with more than 11 employees in a “business Council.”
In return, they offer a “universal” right of representation for all employees. It must allow those very small companies (TPE, less than 11 employees) to find advice from an external body in each region
-. Important Setbacks’ –
The fate of the HSC remained throughout the discussions a major concern for the union. The project provides for it to become a committee of the Council, optional 50 to 300 employees and mandatory above.
“We were not going to enact such major setbacks for employees,” said Saturday morning Agnès Le Bot (CGT). FO, the project “challenges” more than half a century of acquired rights.
Do not lose anything was the condition imposed by the three unions (CFDT, CFTC and CFE-CGC) prone to accept this great upheaval of the single instance. Friday, they considered the text too “fuzzy” and “ambiguous” on maintaining the privileges of the current authorities and pointed a “lower average”.
To formalize the representation of employees in small businesses, the same external is a subject of discontent this time for the CGPME. The employers’ organization is not willing to make this concession in return for the single instance.
She offered Saturday in a statement “to resume discussions on different bases, focusing on companies more than 50 employees and taking more account for each proposed action, the direct and indirect impact on employment. “
The signing of the third employer partner is not essential. In December 2013, the MEDEF had happened to the agreement on the reform of vocational training.
Union side, for an agreement to be valid, it must receive the approval of organizations totaling at least 30% of the vote professional.
But this stage of the signature is not yet in sight. The government, which has refrained from comment Saturday will still wait. Agreement or not, it will legislate in the second quarter.
