The social partners, who negotiated since December on the future personal account activity (CPA), parted Monday night with a draft “common position” minimum only four unions could sign, after consultation with their bodies.
After four rounds of negotiations, CFTC, CFDT, FO and CFE-CGC suggested they could sign a common position with employers, text that does not have the legal force of an agreement, but would built in Bill Myriam El Khomri, whose presentation is planned early March.
Unions must nevertheless consult their bodies before signing. Employers (MEDEF, CGPME and UPA) will also consult its authorities on this text, has he indicated in a statement.
The text sets out the main principles and objectives of the CPA, presented as a “turnkey” social rights that would include training staff account (CPF) and the account of hardship, as recommended by the government.
He reintroduced at the last moment the arduous account that the employers had withdrawn at the last negotiating the end of January, to the surprise of the unions. The hardship has been the subject of internal dissensions in the Medef, opposed the symbolic measure of the pension reform of 2013.
Employers’ organizations have, however, requested “a more complete visibility into real ambitions” of the reform of the labor code.
They also noted that the registration of the account hardship “can not be considered as an acceptance of a device remains in the state, impossible to implement for companies.” They “agreed to take responsibility in the expectation that the mission currently underway on the hardship permit to actually find a landing it still impractical device,” they add.
It is therefore a minimum text that was proposed, but the unions are relieved to see reintroduced arduous. They also hope that it “leaves open the possibility of working on other rights” beyond the presentation of the bill, such as time savings accounts, for example, explained Véronique Descacq, of the CFDT.
“This text is sorely lacking in ambition but it marks the implementation of the CPA route,” said Joseph Thouvenel CFTC.
“This is the minimum that needed to happen,” said for his part Franck Mikula, the CFE-CGC.
The CGT has called on the other hand “disappointed” by text “away from our goal of a professional social security”.
