Labor law: François Hollande he respected its “principles”? – The world

President Francois Hollande in Brussels,  June 28

Hollande comes Wednesday, June 29 at a perilous tightrope in an interview with Voices : show firmness labor law while trying to smooth things over with his opponents, chief among them trade unionists of the CGT. Asked by the business daily on the dispute, the head of state defended himself for betraying the left:

This that he said

“on labor law, I have not missed any of my principles. “

This is fuzzy

The formula being vague, one can only guess what François Hollande refers

1. Social dialogue

He had placed at the heart of his campaign, making even one of the highlights of his famous anaphora of the debate between the two towers:

“I, President of the Republic, I will ensure that the social partners could be considered – both professional organizations and trade unions – and we can regularly have discussions to see what succession law, which matter for negotiation. “

The unions believe that the president has failed in its obligations by committing too abruptly reform of the labor code, without taking enough time for consultation. Beyond the substance of the law, it is this method that they criticize the government

If things in the order is taken, here’s what happened.:

  1. the Prime Minister Manuel Valls command in April 2015 a report on the reform of the labor code official Jean-Denis Combrexelle.

  2. this makes its report on September 9 that meets rather reformist unions (CFDT, CFTC, CFE-CGC) and the MEDEF.

  3. the Minister of Labour, Myriam El Khomri, launched an initial consultation with the social partners, who provide their proposals in mid-October.

  4. the Minister presents the first tracks of its reform on November 4th. Unions remain cautious pending the detailed arrangements. The government promises a new consultation before presenting his final bill.

  5. On 17 February 2016, Mrs El Khomri revealed in the press its preliminary draft law, which goes much further than what the unions expected in several areas. It appears automatically exclude a new agreement with them, saying lends itself to use the procedure of 49.3 if parliamentarians refused to vote on. Unions (including the reformists, traditionally favorable) believe that the government cut their grass underfoot. Part of the left up to the plate against the project.

  6. On February 29, the government rejects the official presentation fortnight text to begin a new consultation with unions.

  7. Manuel Valls presents the “corrected” version of the law to unions on March 14, largely fueled proposals of the CFDT. The real bill is on the table cabinet ten days. The trade union front then divide between reformist unions, which feel they have been listened to, and the protesters, who organize the mobilization in the streets.

  8. Despite the sling, the government does not move until June 29, when Myriam El Khomri announces minor shifts on the text.

Depending on the perspective, we can consider the government …

  • (a) has given its place in the dialogue.
  • (b) missed its start but was well caught.
  • (c) has ignored the opinion of trade unions.

2. The Labour Code principles

On the merits, the labor law that contradict the principles previously worn by François Hollande, especially during his campaign? We can consider that to rehiérarchiser instead of company agreements, branch agreements and the law is in line with the “I president, I will ensure that [...] we can have regular discussions about what belongs to the law, which matter for negotiation. “

however, it is undeniable that the Socialist candidate had never specifically announced its intentions regard to the labor code in 2012 – that many criticize him today left
