Social dialogue negotiations between trade unions and employers fail – Challenges.fr

Unions and management have failed to agree Saturday, January 17 after a marathon negotiation to simplify and improve the dialog social 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 a full night), the employer (MEDEF and UPA) has thrown up at dawn to present a new text after reviewing critical yet many unions.

No new meeting date has been set at this stage, the CFDT suggesting a possible meeting next week.

“We’ll set another date to continue negotiations and try to lift the obstacles that remain, there are still large, “said Joseph Thouvenel (CFTC).

Unions half furious, half-cynical

” We go all to bed. 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, which nevertheless deemed the day” unthinkable “to prolong the discussions.

mid mad unions , half-disillusioned waited for twelve hours a new employer text. It has never happened in the absence of 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), “it would have required to work more quietly, “she lamented.

” We spent the night waiting “to” hear that there is no text, “he ranted Marie Alice Medeuf-Andrieu (FO). “That’s the modernization of dialog social ? If that’s the model I pity the employees,” then the quality of the employer-employee relationship was precisely in the heart of the negotiations.

To alleviate the constraints of enterprises and the famous social thresholds, MEDEF and UPA (craftsmen) want to consolidate all instances employee representation in firms with more than 11 employees in a “Business Council”. In return, they offer a right of representation “universal” for all employees, which should 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 health committees, safety and working conditions (HSC) remained throughout the discussions a subject of 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 employers’ organization was not ready for this concession in return for the single instance.

The signing of the third partner employers 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, and the government will have to wait. Agreement or not, it will legislate in the second quarter.
