Three weeks after the launch of a concertation to "save jobs", Emmanuel Macron receives this Wednesday again the social partners to unveil their first arbitrations, in particular on the new long-term partial unemployment scheme.
While Unédic anticipates the destruction of 900,000 jobs in 2020, trade unions and employers' organizations are awaiting answers, or at least "guidelines" on five subjects - partial unemployment, unemployment insurance, youth employment, posted work and vocational training - discussed at the Ministry of Labor since June 8.
Long-term partial unemployment
Issue: avoid massive layoffs in companies whose sustainability is not called into question but which are "faced with a reduction in sustainable activity", such as aeronautics. Inspired by a text signed in metallurgy, it would allow, according to union sources, a reduction in working time up to 40% for 18 months to two years which would be compensated by the State and Unédic so that the employee touches around 90% of his net salary. Condition: it must be subject to a majority collective agreement, in the company or in the branch and include commitments on employment in return.
After a first reduction in airfoil in early June (with the exception of certain very affected sectors, companies are now no longer compensated at 100% but at 85%), a second could be announced Wednesday for the end of September.
A return to the unemployment insurance reform?
While the executive itself expects an unemployment rate above 10% at the end of the year, against 8.1% at the end of 2019, the unions would also like to learn that the reform of the unemployment insurance decided last year, in a context of strong job creation. "The CFDT will not commit to a mobilization on employment if there is an element on the reform of unemployment insurance as it is," repeated Tuesday its secretary general, Laurent Berger.
If the Minister of Labor, Muriel Pénicaud, said she was "pragmatic" and ready to move the cursors, in particular for a return to the four-month rule according to FO, she did not say how far the executive could back down . The employers should for their part obtain the abandonment of the tax of 10 euros on fixed-term contracts, short and flexible contracts used in sectors very affected by the crisis such as catering or events.
Like what was decided for apprentices, the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, pleads "for a bonus for the hiring of young people", whether it is "CDI or CDD of 6 months "And" from September ".
