Faced with a health crisis "in its tenth month without being able to predict the outcome", they want "social dialogue to translate into listening and an effective response from the public authorities", as well as "the respect for the autonomy of collective bargaining ”.

Evaluate the consequences of work orders

As such, the five unions are asking "for a rapid meeting on the assessment of the consequences of work orders (from the end of 2017, Editor's note) in order to restore the collective representation rights of employees up to the current challenges".

In fact, according to them, the health provisions "result in significant restrictions, particularly in trade union matters, in that they de facto limit the regular exercise of the right to assembly and to demonstrate".

The organizations also “demand” “an emergency meeting devoted to the effective recognition of the essential role of employees in so-called second-line jobs” in order to study “without delay” a “revaluation of wages, working conditions, etc. employment and careers ”.

Finally, they demand that the reform of unemployment insurance, postponed until the end of the year, be "abandoned" and suggest that the government "announce that the time is not to put back to order. day the subject of pensions ”.
