“We welcome” this agreement reached by unions and employers on new rules on unemployment insurance and the employment of seniors, reacts Friday November 15 on franceinfo Maud Bregeon, spokesperson for the government. “The Prime Minister will speak on this this afternoon, but it is good news.”
“This demonstrates that the Prime Minister’s method of leaving room for social dialogue is bearing fruit”she adds, thus excluding the government from taking back control of this issue.
Three chords at once. Employers and several unions managed to agree on new rules on unemployment insurance and on measures to promote the employment of seniors, Thursday November 14, with the added bonus of a third agreement on social dialogue. “We managed, after a flash negotiation, to reach a conclusion this evening”greeted the representative of Medef, Hubert Mongon. The CPME, however, criticized the agreement on seniors, “not balanced”while the U2P, the third employers’ organization, which brings together artisans and traders, issued a “positive review” on the three texts.
Among the unions, which must now submit these agreements to their authorities, the CFDT and the CFTC expressed a favorable opinion on the three texts. The CGT was clearly more reluctant, deploring an agreement “dur” on unemployment insurance and the absence of “gros gains” for employees on the employment of seniors. The CFE-CGC, which had already indicated that it would not sign the agreement on unemployment insurance, indicated that it was in favor of the two other texts. FO still reserves its assessment on the three aspects.
