The contours of the unemployment insurance reform, promise of Emmanuel Macron for his second mandate, are becoming clearer. Tuesday, August 30, the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, confirmed, during his visit to the summer universities of Medef, to the Hippodrome de Longchamp, in Paris, that the bill would be placed on the table in council of the council of Ministers Wednesday September 7 and then be examined in the National Assembly, the first week of October.
The bill must in priority “extend until the end of August 2024 the application of the bonus-malus” to companies in certain sectors which have a lot of use of short contracts. It must also make it possible to postpone the rules of compensation from the 2019 reform at the end of 2023 – entry into force in 2021 due to the crisis linked to the COVVI -19 – and which stop on October 31. The government wants to take advantage of it to introduce new rules with the principle of “contractacyclicity”, that is to say a modulation of compensation according to the economic situation. “When it’s okay, we harden the rules and, when it goes badly, we relax them,” said Olivier Dussopt, July 27, at the Parisian .
In the wake of the Council of Ministers, these new methods will be subject to the social partners. “As soon as we want the introduction of a new rule, it is a good policy to request social dialogue, explains Olivier Dussopt. Depending on the time given to the social partners, depending on their ability to find an agreement or not , we will have a culmination or an observation of deficiency. Then, we will take a decree, either to apply the agreement, or to define the rules. “
strong tensions
negotiation which may however turn short. The secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, opposed an end of inadmissibility to the principle of modulation of compensation, Tuesday August 30, in Le Monde. “It does not make sense, it is pure ideology and it is ineffective. We will not negotiate on this,” he said. For its part, the employers calls on the government to regain control rather than engaging in a dead end. “We have a lot of discussions with trade union organizations on this subject of compensation and we have differences of views on the diagnosis. We put in a negotiation syringe which we know in advance that it will not succeed, It is a bad service to social dialogue and social partners, “said Medef’s boss, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux on Tuesday morning at a press conference.
