On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, the organizations of employees and employers of the show agreed on the specific unemployment insurance system to intermittent originally a movement of Paris in theaters and occupations province since Monday. No information was available on the night on the possible lifting of the theaters of occupations, but the CGT Spectacle indicated that its authorities would meet Thursday to decide a signature.

negotiating rules intermittent by industry professionals is a first. “An agreement is set for signature, it includes important steps” , told AFP Denis Gravouil, general secretary of the CGT Spectacle (majority), after nearly ten hours negotiations.

One option that intermittent do not want because they fear that the participation of the state opens the way for a “separate fund”, which then come out of the interprofessional solidarity.
