An “agreement acceptable to the parties”

Well it must validate it. That is the concept of social democracy and social dialogue, in our “, has he also launched.
The trading rules for 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.
According to a source employers, it is a “agreement acceptable to the parties” (…) with significant improvements to the protection of workers with mutual efforts. ” “The agreement provides for an increase in employers’ contributions and employees as a side effort” says does the same source.
Convergences
Among the main points written down recorded in this agreement are included, according to the CGT, the entitlement to compensation for both artists for technicians, from 507 hours worked over 12 months.

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.
