Three business organizations – UNAPL, UPA and UDES – launched a campaign to demand the withdrawal of the El Khomri law. They accuse him of changing the rules of the employer’s representative, focusing on large groups at the expense SME’s.

Small businesses do not want let gag! Artisans, merchants, professionals launched a major protest campaign against the law Khomri El, whom they accuse of wanting to silence them by giving the floor only to large groups.

“power to the wholesale killing is given small. It is an unacceptable casus belli “

While Article 19 of the Law of El Khomri bill amending employer representativeness criteria, which triggered the revolt was Wednesday deleted Committee on social Affairs. But UNAPL, UPA and UDES fear will resurface when the text open debate on May 3 By then, they propose the Medef and the CGPME to meet to reach an agreement, while trying to reach the maximum of members to their cause.

The famous Article 19 provides that the number of ‘member companies accounted for audience measurement of employer organizations – a crucial audience for the sharing of power and funds – weighted by the number of members (at 20%) and the number of employees ( up to 80%). Either option championed by the MEDEF and the CGPME, who agreed on this. For the Medef, weighted by the number of employees is essential to avoid balkanization of social dialogue. And especially to reflect the different economic weight between a multinational and the mechanic of the corner!

The UPA and the Udes UNAPL see things differently. They want to return to the system adopted in the Rebsamen Act of 2015, which only count the members. “There is an attempt to give power to the wholesale killing children! We want to push the SOHO and try to make them disappear from the social scene! “Says lapidary, Chassang Michel, president of the UNAPL. “In the construction sector, it will be Mr. Bouygues will make rain or shine. For grocery stores, it will be the big distribution. The 20,000 pharmacists in France have nothing but their eyes to cry because everything will be led by a score of big pharmaceutical labs. It is an unacceptable casus belli, “he continues.

While the TPE-SMEs account for 98% of businesses in France, “the government is preparing to cut their way into the corporate representation bodies, in favor of big business which only collects 2% companies “protesting the three organizations in a joint statement. Afraid of being left out of social dialogue bodies, they fear not being able to defend their entrepreneurial modes and their specific needs, different from those of large enterprises.
