All unions, with the exception of the CFTC which has renounced it, will file their appeals against the reform of unemployment insurance which is due to come into force on July 1 on Friday before the Council of State, we learned from unions.

"We will file the same day through our respective lawyers," Michel Beaugas, in charge of employment at Force Ouvrière, told AFP.

The judges will have one month to rule on the requests for interim suspension of the decree instituting the reform and possibly then four months to examine the merits.

The unions mainly attack the flagship measure of the reform, the new method of calculating the allowance, which will penalize job seekers alternating unemployment and activity, even if the government has limited the impact compared to a first version. canceled by the Council of State in November.

The government has also drafted in recent days a draft amending decree to correct "unwanted effects" to the detriment of people who have experienced unusual pay periods (partial activity, maternity leave, illness, etc.).

But the unions believe that this draft decree, deemed legally fragile by Unédic, only solves part of the problem.

They also contest other measures: the hardening of 4 to 6 months of work for the opening and recharging of rights, which will be conditional on an improvement in the labor market, as well as the degression of allowances for employees. having won more than 4,500 euros.

The National Coordination of Occupied Theaters also called for mobilization across France on May 22 to withdraw the unemployment insurance reform.

"We are on the same boat", declared Tuesday Denis Gravouil, secretary general of the CGT spectacle, unemployment insurance negotiator for the power plant and occupant of the Odéon.

"We need measures for a social protection at the height that guarantees rights to unemployment insurance, attached to the person and disconnected from employment, for all".

Although not having obtained from the government the gesture it requested on the reloading of rights, the CFTC decided not to file an appeal, considering according to its negotiator Éric Courpotin, "that there was not enough 'legal elements to bring down this unjust reform ".
