In Haute-Vienne, the reform of France Travail is worrying: “Colleagues have the impression of working at the SNCF and doing switching”

“This will allow all these people to have access to the France Travail network,” explains Nathalie Weber, the territorial manager for Haute-Vienne. Concretely, this will result in a diagnostic and orientation interview: “it is a decision tree,” explains the manager, “which should make it possible to say which organization the beneficiary can be directed towards. The jobseeker will then have a more in-depth meeting with the Department, the local mission or Cap Emploi, which will allow the actions to be taken to be considered and followed up. »

“Currently, colleagues are cleaning up a bit,” explains Joël Doumergue, FSU union representative. The first returns are a little skeptical. Colleagues tell us that they have the impression of working at the SNCF and doing switching, that it is not easy to keep the interview schedule. For them, the proposed directions sometimes lack finesse. »

A law with “mishaps”

Above all, the implementation of the Full Employment law comes in a tense budgetary context, in which the old finance law left the possibility of 500 job cuts at France Travail hovering. The unions mobilized at the beginning of December on the subject. “We think that we cannot absorb this workload,” explains the trade unionist. Management tells us that it won't change much. We are not calm, especially since the economic situation makes us fear an influx of job seekers. The law is being implemented somewhat reluctantly. »
