"Negotiations" Un?dic are completed, once again, a victory of the MEDEF. Yellow unions
will papatte affix the bottom of the Agreement, and the rights of unemployed workers will
fall further. Poor mobilization of social movements - just offset by the reaction of
intermittent-es - should make us reflect on our methods. ---- At the time we go to press,
the Un?dic agreement is not signed yet, but it's like. On the night of March 21 to 22, the
MEDEF has obtained the agreement of the CFDT, CFTC and FO what he proposed. The most
important thing: almost no increase in employer contributions! This will require that 22
billion euros of debt to unemployment insurance are met only by the efforts of
employee-es. PS-Greens government is gift 30 billion business, it is not that they inject
into social organizations.
During the two months of negotiations, the attention was focused on the intermittent and
intermittent, to the detriment of other threatened categories: temporary, fixed-term
general plan, precarious and employee-es ... the private sector in general. It is not a
coincidence: intermittent intermittent largely unionized, including the CGT. As in 2003,
they and they managed a major mobilization since the AG 800 people Theatre du Rond-Point
in Paris until the occupation of the Opera and the Carreau du Temple through two major
events ... These mobilizations also gathered interim CGT unions Pole Employment (SUD and
SNU-FSU) and associations of unemployed, precarious (AC!, APEIS, MNCP, CGT Unemployed,
Action radiation, CIP-IDF).
These are the five trade union confederations Un?dic negotiating the agreement. But the
CGT, rather than organizing the mobilization of employee-are preferred to delegate (and
therefore segment) this question to the unemployed and the CGT CGT show. This is even more
dangerous than the CGT know that negotiations are Un?dic cans, the MEDEF always gets what
he wants reformist trade unions, and the street is the only field where you can create a
balance of power.
If MEDEF could implement its initial threats - return to the digression of allowances,
removal of intermittent status - the new agreement is nevertheless a real social
regression. But our main regret, here: negotiation Un?dic 2014 could be a moment of
confrontation with the capital provided to organize well in advance, since the fall of
2013, a major information campaign on this issue - as we can do it on pensions[1]. But the
mobilization was too late. Actions in recent weeks that have passed through the
intermittent-es, but in the almost total ignorance of hundreds of thousands of registered
employment center. There is food for thought for the next appointment in three years.
