The agreement reached between employers and several unions on unemployment insurance was approved by the government, according to a decree published Friday, December 20 in Official Journal.
This agreement on the new rules for compensation for the unemployed, which must apply from January, was signed by the CFDT, FO and the CFTC, as well as by the three employers’ organizations (Medef, CPME, U2P). The CGT and CFE-CGC had not initialed it.
Just before the censorship, the Barnier government had decided to approve this agreement as part of the management of current affairs, but the new Prime Minister, François Bayrou, could have decided otherwise.

A large majority of social partners managed to agree on November 15, at the end of lightning negotiations, on these new rules, which notably provide for raising by two years the age limits from which unemployed seniors benefit a longer compensation period.
The government decree, signed by François Bayrou, specifies in particular that the measure which provided that it would be necessary to have worked at least five months, and not six months, during the last twenty-four months to register for insurance unemployment, will not come into force because it requires legislation.
As announced, a measure of the agreement which planned to reduce the compensation of cross-border workers – calculated on the basis of their salaries received abroad and often much higher than in France – is also excluded from approval, for legal reasons.
