Equality and parity at the heart of an ubiquitous situation. In Bourg-en-Bresse, the agglomeration community will have to pay a fine of 90,000 euros for hiring ... too many women! In the mail she addressed to the Socialist Jean-François Debat, president of the community and mayor of Bourg-en-Bresse, the prefecture of Ain involves the hiring of four women for a man in management positions. However, since 2017 the law imposes a proportion of 60% of men for 40% women, or vice versa, to management positions.
"The objective of the law, even if it is written in terms of parity, is to promote access for a greater number of women to the highest positions of responsibility.In France, in the communities, we are globally 70% of men and 30% of women.This is the result of a historical situation, "says Marion Calais microphone, on Europe 1, Jean-Francois Debat. And this elected official intends to remind the government. "The prefect applies the law, what I'm going to do is to seize Marlène Schiappa [Secretary of State for Equality between women and men, note ] to know if it validates the payment of this administrative penalty or if it makes another analysis prevail: as long as we are not at full parity, can we admit that certain communities are, circumstantially, with too many women? "asks Jean-François Debat.
