(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - The Macron law, it
is for bosses (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
The Minister of Economy released his law significantly alters the labor code. The general
framework is given: the right of employers premium over those of employee-es. Continuation
of the dismantling social rights and liberalism watchword. ---- Unlike the presentation
that are the media and the government, Macron law currently being debated in the National
Assembly is not a law "catch-all" but a frontal and consistent attack against the labor
code. ---- A minister of the economy lays a law amending deep labor code. The general
framework is given: the right of employers should take precedence over the rights of
employee-es. And what economy minister! Macron said there is little in Las Vegas, "it
takes French young people to want to become billionaires." An ambition that hardly realize
since it is still "only" millionaire after a stint as an investment banker at Rothschild.
His bill adds all the fads and liberal economists with a coherent whole: it is always
breaking the rights of employee-es.
- Sunday work and night: it goes well beyond the transition from May to December Sundays
worked per year: the tourist and commercial areas, where every Sunday is allowed, become
common, stations shops would no longer be limited worked Sundays and wage compensation for
night work (between 21h and 24h) jump for retail. It is not a question of "work more to
earn more" but to remove the salary compensation of employee-es working at night or Sunday
trivializing these hours. The "jobs at 0 euros" English, where employee-es are available
depending on the demand of employers and paid to the task as needed, are not far away.
- Destruction of the means of employee-es defenses: the employer's crime will be
facilitated by new attacks against prudhommes and labor inspection. In parallel, another
bill intends to transfer part of occupational medicine to general practice. And the law on
social dialogue, written by MEDEF but refused by the unions and now in the hands of the
government, bluntly considering removing 2/3 of the HSC (Health Security Committee working
conditions) in companies.
- A new series of privatizations is planned: review of HGV license, companies in the
armament or research, airports and opportunity for hospitals to create private
subsidiaries. The bus lines between cities would be open to competition, with an
explanation E. Macron himself: "many French people are too poor to take the train[...],
the liberalization of the bus transport will benefit the families more modest. "Making the
cheapest train would be simpler and more environmentally friendly!
- Dismissals: if a dismissal following a plant closure is deemed illegal by the courts,
the employee-es licensees no longer will recover any compensation! The acceleration of
redundancy plans procedures by the National Interprofessional Agreement 2013 has
unsurprisingly confirmed the bosses in their requirements more one gives, the more they
demand.
No national unity, but unity against the law Macron
Macron Bill began to be debated in the media in early January, just before the heinous
fascist attacks Charlie Hebdo and Hyper-Hide the door of Vincennes. Libertarian
Alternative condemned the despicable acts and fights all fascists, whether nationalist or
religious, but decries the political exploitation that took place. Hollande has indeed
been inviting dictators and leaders of the extreme right, some do not hesitate to imprison
or torture journalists and bloggers, to walk with him at the head of the Paris Republican
running. This illustrates the hypocrisy of "national unity": it is above all a lie and a
trap to silence all dissent and organize the return to order behind this government
Service bosses.
We will not fall into this trap: no unity with the enemies of the worker-s, but unity of
all employee-es against the draft law Macron!
