Employers and unions have not reached an agreement after four months of discussions were ending this Saturday. New exchanges could take place quickly, before the government did seize the file.
As expected, trade unions and employers failed to s hear in the night from Friday to 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, like it 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 a new text after learning of critical unions .
No new meeting date has been set at this stage, the CFDT suggesting a possible meeting next week. “We will set another date to continue negotiations and try to lift the blockages that persist, there are still large,” said Joseph Thouvenel (CFTC) on Saturday morning.
” It’s the modernization of social dialogue? “
” We all go to bed. It’s a shame to fail in these conditions, “regretted Marylise Leon (CFDT). “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.
The mid-furious 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. “Night was spent waiting” to “hear that there is no text”, pestered Mary Alice Medeuf-Andrieu (FO). “It’s the modernization of social dialogue? If that’s the model I pity the employees “, while the quality of the employer-employee relationship was precisely in the heart of the negotiations.
To alleviate the constraints of social enterprises and famous thresholds , MEDEF and UPA (craftsmen) want to consolidate all of the employee representation bodies in more than 11 employees of companies into a “Business Council”. In return, they offer a “universal” right of representation 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. “One council” which figure stumbling block in the negotiations.
The fate of HSC remained throughout the discussions a major concern for the unions, even though instances employers had already conceded some progress. 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 employer is however 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. Time is short, however for the social partners: agree or not, the government will legislate in the second quarter
