The government finally accepted, as the right asked, that two CDI refusals after a fixed -term contract or an interim contract on the same position will lead to the future of the unemployment compensation in the future.

A compromise at all costs. MEPs and senators found a joint joint committee (CMP) on Wednesday, November 9 on the bill which opens the way to a new unemployment insurance reform. The government thus gives wages to the right and can highlight the new consultation method promised by the executive. “Dialogue and build together is to be able to act for full employment. This is what the agreement reached by the deputies and senators shows,” reacted the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, on Twitter .
Nothing was easy to achieve a balance on this text which firstly allows the government to extend the current rules of unemployment insurance from the reform of 2018. It also gives the possibility to the Executive to set up, by decree, the principle of modulating compensation rules according to the economic situation, the campaign promise of Emmanuel Macron.
Because the senatorial majority – Les Républicains (LR) and Centrist Union – has shown self -denial to maintain the measures it had added to harden the text and which were planning to no longer compensate employees who would refuse three proposals of Under -term contract (CDI) at the end of a fixed -term contract (CDD) and temporary workers from the first refusal. The compromise found in CMP finally resumes them by aligning the rules: now, two CDI refusals after a fixed -term contract or an temporary contract on the same position will lead to the loss of unemployment compensation.
arbitration of Matignon
A setback for the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, who had repeated his opposition to these two principles since the first discussions in Parliament. After long hours of towing Tuesday evening until Wednesday morning, the compromise was finally found after arbitration of Matignon. “The question of CDI’s refusals was the hard point of negotiations,” admits the rapporteur (Renaissance) of the text to the Assembly, Marc Ferracci, who nevertheless reaffirms his “reserve” about a measure “whose opportunity is questionable and which will be difficult to apply “, emphasizing the risk of setting up” a gas factory “. But for the deputy of the French from abroad, “it was important to find a compromise, and the senators absolutely held at this point”.
It was indeed a “red line” for the coractor (LR) of the bill in the Senate, Frédérique Puissat, for whom these measures “recall that unemployment insurance is an insurance system” in which ” Job seekers may be entitled to the return to employment allowance as soon as they are privately deprived of employment “, which is not the case when refused a permanent contract. The deputy Modem of Eure-et-Loir, Philippe Vigier, who carried this measure, also welcomed this agreement which “illustrates what the majority must do: find a compromise without compromise”.
