The Secretary General of the “workers’ union,” Philippe Martinez, wants to renegotiate the weekly working time. A position that could jeopardize the forthcoming discussions with the MEDEF and the government.
Philippe Martinez has at heart to shed its predecessor. No more scandals at great expense renovations, up the fight. In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche , the secretary general of the CGT reaffirms its priorities: “we reoccupy our land, the social, the challenge of the proposal.” Especially for the protest, since warns that “the concept of balance of power continues to CGT and it will last a long time.”
In the viewfinder, the MEDEF but also the government which he believes positions are too similar to those of the employers. To stand out, Philippe Martinez found his hobbyhorse: 35 hours. Not to remove as desired by Pierre Gattaz or to soften as provided by law Macron. He simply wants to reduce weekly working time to 32 hours this time. “The distribution of wealth is unbalanced, analyzes the general secretary of the CGT. There has potentially work for everyone in France. All work is possible, provided to share the work. “
While a social appointment between government, employers and trade unions is scheduled in April, Philippe Martinez intends to impose its agenda on his interlocutors. “We want to discuss 32 hours. This would be a real reform going in the right direction for employees, “repeats the one who believes that” modernity is the CGT. “
Philippe Martinez had already mentioned early February a working week 32 hours, claiming a hard line for slicing with the reformist inclination of his predecessors. But the new obsession secretary general of the CGT yet encountered statistics: employment is weighed down by the cost of labor and further reduce working time would only increase the burden.
