Small earthquake in unemployment insurance. After four months of trade, business and labor organizations, managers Unédic, have officially recorded Thursday the failure of negotiations on the new agreement governing the compensation rules of the unemployed. A new burning fireplace for a government already entangled in many social issues including labor law. Hence the extreme reactivity of the executive, which decided after the announcement of the failure to extend the current agreement, while addressing the issue by decree – related – of the entertainment. Explanations.
Why did the negotiations fail?
Not surprisingly, unions accuse the Medef and vice versa. “The employers’ organizations have not been living up to their responsibility. There are no negotiations, only the technical work, “ Véronique Descacq tip, of the CFDT. “ The chamber conducts a funny game, very dangerous. He plays with the unemployed is unacceptable, “ Eric Courpotin abounds, the CFTC, who regrets that the negotiator MEDEF has never been a mandate from the Executive Council to negotiate . Blame it on the “internal conflicts Medef” think both reformists plants in a joint statement. Scheduled for 2018, the estate of Pierre Gattaz, head of Medef, has, according to them, weighed in the balance. “This is not a problem of trading method, but Medef’s health,” continues Descacq. Even finding Eric Aubin, of the CGT: “In the Medef, the war of succession of Gattaz committed, and those who are against the paritarism won the battle!”
But the election of President of MEDEF, in two years, is not the only explanation put forward. Some, like Michel Beaugas, FO, emphasize that the presidential election approaching, employers could “to be betting a change of majority.” Others, like Jean-François Foucard GSC point trading method where only the Medef holds the reins of the discussions. “The one holding the pen is now completely autistic other” says Jean-François Foucard.
For the negotiator of the employers’ organization, John Cerutti, it is “declarations” that preceded the negotiations, including the government, that have complicated trade. But also the behavior of the unions, which are in “ unable to overcome the dogmatic postures to” punish “the industry – the employees and the unemployed indirectly – by making contributions increases on the job” <. / em>
What are the points of disagreement
from the beginning, the employers net denied a measure which however was the consensus of the trade unions’ side: the modulation more high unemployment contributions depending on the duration of employment contracts. In other words, higher taxes on short contracts while lowering contributions for CDI, all under constant financial envelope. The idea is not new: a time, the government had planned to enroll at the heart of labor law, before giving up the face of the employers outcry. Jean-Michel Pottier, CGPME, there is a “diktat” that unions have focused throughout the negotiation. He added: “We have always said we are willing to negotiate, but there is a point that we did not want to cross: tax additionally the DDC. Taxing the access to employment today is a measure against-productive. We leave the responsibility to those who will make that decision, but they will be accountable to the French. “ For the president of Medef, ” we must end with “symbolic” positions who want to pass a reform, tax businesses flaw in one way or another “
other union demand rejected by employers. taxation of breach of contract over 50 years to promote the retention of older people in employment, “while deterring companies to use unemployment insurance as an early retirement system.” a subject on which ” Medef was committed in October it does not respect its signature “ pestent CFDT and CFTC.
What now?
the executive, which also bear the responsibility for this failure in business, now wishes “that at the beginning, the social partners to resume negotiations to reach an agreement.” not really shared optimism not the CFDT, which considers that there is very little likelihood that discussions resumed before the presidential election. “Get back to the table? What for? asks Aubin, CGT. If the Medef says he has a new mandate to provide new recipes, why not. Otherwise, no. The ball is in the Medef camp. “ Even prudence of the CFTC, who prefers to let the 2017 presidential and ” The pressures of labor law. “
in the meantime, the rules still apply. In the same minutes that followed the end of the negotiations, the Minister of Labour, Myriam El Khomri, has announced an extension of the current agreement beyond its deadline of June 30. “The government is to reassure all job seekers compensated and those who would become the they will continue to receive their benefits without suffering any inconvenience, “ says the minister’s office in a statement. The question is whether the Minister of Labour will choose to modify, subsequently, unemployment insurance rules by decree.
The difficulties of the social partners to agree and economies promised, or 800 million (while the plan is in deficit of 4.5 billion and carries a $ 35 billion debt) could encourage them to do so. “We expect the state to shoulder its responsibilities” says FO. The central notably invites the Government to “replace the short-taxation agreements and see what form it could increase the contributions of the companies.” But the idea is not consensus. Or concerned, including the CFTC. “As soon as the state takes over, there is a multitude of risks that will emerge” says Eric Courpotin.
And for intermittent?
Other folder linked to the unemployment insurance agreement, one of the entertainment. They have indeed a specific compensation scheme, housed in annexes 8 and 10 of the General Convention. But for months, there is fire around their regime. MEDEF and CFDT since March demanding they make 185 million euros in savings, including possibly 80 million provided by the State. Gathered around a table, unions and employers of the show are agreed in late April on a series of measures generating 90 million euros in savings, while restoring certain rights to intermittent, removed in 2003. insufficient to MEDEF and CFDT, especially since the State did not provide the missing 80 million. So even if the General Convention had resulted in an agreement, the annexes on intermittent were likely to be pushed back. A failure that threatened to jeopardize the summer festivals. The government announced on Thursday a decree, applicable from mid-July, which includes the measures decided by the entertainers end of April.
What about the festivals and the social movement?
transposition of the intermittent branch agreement should curb the mobilization was announced in intermittent. And that might paralyze festivals in Avignon head. “But it is a victory which we measure the limits,” relativises Denis Gravouil, the secretary general of the CGT-Show. It is suspended again for a short period “ This new situation does indeed pose many questions. How long will the decree? What about the financial participation of the state in which intermittent oppose refusing an independent fund? “We will be vigilant on the implementation of the agreement,” Gravouil continues Denis. While welcoming this victory after thirteen years of battle since the 2003 reform, Samuel Churin, Coordination of intermittent and precarious (CIP), also ahead of Facebook that “ this victory commits us to extend intermittency of the show at any intermittency of employment “.
in Lyon, where shares were held throughout the day, such as Caen, Montpellier, Toulouse, Avignon and Paris, a unit Collectif 69 speaks of spokesman “status quo” and application “how long it will last” . The group holds the Union Theatre in Limoges since Tuesday decided to remain mobilized in the premises until Friday. And topics, including labor law, remain on track. Intermittent going to take time to weigh the significance of this victory
