The reform of unemployment to come is a “total carnage” according to Marylise Léon of the CFDT

Work – The Bayrou government plan for the“Budgetary effort” did not please the secretary general of the CFDT at all. Marylise Léon, who spoke this Monday, July 21 with the Minister of Labor Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, by the invitation of the latter, came out of the meeting. Faced with journalists, she notably denounced the reform of unemployment insurance desired by the executive.

She would be “Total carnage for job seekers” with a volume of savings “Who has never been done” Previously, said the boss of the CFDT, castigating the « vision » government according to which “The unemployed are privileged and that it is by reducing the rights that they would return more easily to employment”. It is not “Not a solution”insisted the unionist who says she had a discussion “Frank and direct” with the minister.

According to her, the reform “Would report from 2 to 2.5 billion euros” initially, then “We would be between 3 and 4 billion in the full year, when the devices would have entered vigor”. While the government hoped to launch social negotiations, Marylise Léon has already qualified their provisions as “Bad”, As you can see in the sequence below. “I do not know if it is ready to go back, if we are, we are certain that we [y] is opposed “she said.

“No negotiation if it is not for social progress”

The unions were also bristling by the invitation of the executive to negotiate with employers a possible monetization of the fifth week of paid leave or the abolition of two holidays. “Regarding their desire to discuss labor law, for the CFDT there cannot be negotiations if it is not for social progress”warned Marylise Léon, notably evoking the “Deep feeling of injustice” facing “A government that explains that it is necessary to work two more public holidays”.

Asked about the response to be provided if the government goes to the end of the provisions it provides, the CFDT’s heads replied that he wants to do “Everything in its time”. “We argued our arguments, see you at the end of August – early Septembershe said, All the action possibilities are on the table, we will decide at the end of the summer. »»

A position aligned with the various union leaders, gathered last Friday and who said “Very upset” by the government project. They met the “September 1” To define the contours of a possible mobilization. “It takes a response to the height of the attacks made at work”said on Sunday Frédéric Souillot, Secretary General of Force Ouvrière.

The unionist did not honor the invitation of Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet this week, highlighting a problem of« agenda » and ensuring that he will meet her “End of August”. If Cyril Chabanier, leader of the CFTC, must meet the minister this Monday, Sophie Binet of the CGT and François Manril of the CFE-CGC declined her invitation.
