A few days before the deconfinement, a guide to good practice on teleworking will be published by the end of the week by the Ministry of Labor, he said on Wednesday, confirming information from unions, which would prefer to keep hand over this and negotiate an interprofessional agreement.
"The Minister of Labor intends to make a practical guide on teleworking, based on existing texts, including the provisions of the 2005 agreement," said Yves Veyrier, secretary general of Force Ouvrière.
"No room for social dialogue", says unions
During a videoconference Tuesday with the social partners, Muriel Pénicaud "said that if we negotiated, it might be a little long" and that for this reason, the ministry was going to make this guide "intended for companies so that they can improve their systems, ”said François Hommeril, president of the CFE-CGC. But the unions were skeptical on Wednesday.
"It would be better if between social partners we give elements that can be completed by the ministry, rather than doing the opposite," proposed Catherine Pinchaut (CFDT), pointing to the "containment protocol" published Sunday by the ministry , "Extremely technical and which does not make room for social dialogue".
"Extraordinarily degraded" working conditions
"I would not want it to be the public authorities that decree and decide instead of negotiation," noted Yves Veyrier. “You can't get away with a brochure. Interprofessional negotiation is necessary, ”argued François Hommeril. More generally, he considers that "when the Minister of Labor talks about telework, she is abusing language": "What is happening now is a continuation of work in extraordinarily degraded conditions".
His peers have been going in the same direction for ten days. Calls on him to ensure that negotiations on telework "are limited to the current degraded period" and that the agreement covers a period of a few months. Optimistically, the president of the managers' union believes that unions and employers are "capable of getting something done in three meetings".
"We are going to pick up thousands of employees with a teaspoon"
However, he acknowledges that the employers are not "very motivated". “Their concern is cash and we can understand it. But on telework negotiations, there are no financial issues - a subject on which interprofessional negotiations often fail. If we are not careful, we will pick up thousands of employees with a teaspoon ”.
For his part, Yves Veyrier is ready for a more general negotiation, "which can deal with the immediate situation at the same time while opening the tracks for a longer-term framing of telework". In any case, negotiations should start in May, the unions hope. Monday, the Minister of Labor had indicated that 5 million people were in teleworking currently, and warned that "if the result of the negotiation arrives in September-October, it is interesting for the future but it will not be operational for the phase who is coming ".
