l'éducation populaire - Wage: militant dedication to the train
station scam (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
For senders and summer camps leaders, is the unvarnished exploitation: in proportion to
the number of hours worked, the pay is derisory - almost pocket money. And that, in
collusion with the employers and the state. ----------- Why facilitators and leaders they
claim their rights so little? Because they live a paradox. On behalf of the militant
tradition of popular education, we consider animation as a commitment to the service of
children. In fact, it serves depoliticised structures, service providers. ---- Result:
employers require both a professional posture - neutrality, accountability, autonomy,
respect for hierarchy - and the sacrifices of a militant commitment - in terms of working
time, endangerment, investment ... ---- Solidaires Isère, sues ---- Contractualization of
this paradox has a name: it is the educational commitment contract (EEC). This contract is
heavily used feature not to raise the Labour Code but a hybrid and highly contested legal
object: the Family Code.
In 2006, year of the creation of the EEC, Solidaires Isère denounced before the Council of
State sprains labor law which it swarmed. The union was dismissed on issues of pay and
working week, but in October 2010 the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in his
favor on the daily rest period. It just was not provided for in the EEC!
The employers' lobby against attack
The French State therefore had to introduce into the EEC a minimum of 11 hours of daily
rest[1]. But this well bored employers who immediately put in place a real lobby - not to
demand more public funding of the "right to holidays," but ... to preserve their
precarious labor.
A working group, led by the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs, was then set up with
employers such as the League of Education, Youth in outdoor (JPA), the works council of
the SNCF , local authorities and for-profit organizations. Objective of reflection:
circumvent the decision of the European court. And there, the lobby has scored points.
Rest of eleven consecutive hours per day was endorsed, but with the ability to limit it to
eight hours, or even delete it if necessary. In any case, employers can sleep soundly: the
controls are almost non-existent, the government is colluding.
The most interesting-offensive against this, however, is the discourse on which it relied.
The Popular Front is still good!
After a nostalgia tinged discourse on defending our lovely summer camps attacked by
abstruse standards Brussels[2], the lobby has invoked the specificity of the French
animation industry, from the Popular Front. Employers who call themselves of the "French
specificity"[3] and the Popular Front, no you're not dreaming! This is the magic of the
employers left.
Never short of imagination, employers are also set to demand, from the European trial, the
creation of a voluntary status that would, once again, to escape the Labour Code. And
swear, hand on heart, that he would not be of undeclared work.
Yes, we can do otherwise
Facilitators of the association Les 400 coups (Isère) decided to go against the tide.
While carrying a self-managing and anticonsumériste project, they do not want to lose the
militant character animation, but they refuse that this justifies the case of the working
conditions.
By establishing equal pay between managers and facilitators and integrating into teams
specialized stakeholders (supervisors sporting, cultural, ...) rather than resort to
"external service providers" Les 400 coups resulted in a year 2015, to correct framing
quotas while wearing the day pass at 40 euros. A long-term objective is to reach the
hourly minimum wage. And yes, it is asking the cake and butter ... The facilitators and
volunteer facilitators generally neither one nor the other.

THANKS TO THE ABOLITION wage "CIVIC SERVICE"
It is common for associations to do work of young people in civic service for periods of
six to twelve months, and a working time from 24 to 35 weekly hours ... all for 573 euros
net per month. Civic service was created in 2010 by Martin Hirsch, ostensibly to help the
professional integration of young graduates with little or no.
Yet it is not eligible for unemployment benefits. What for? Because it is not paid a
salary, but by a "compensation" - 442 euros paid by the State + 100 euros paid by the
association. A good way for people to work cheap: 542 euros for a full-time, which means less?
The association leaders may well be titillated by their bad conscience ... volunteers
abound. These civic services are indeed, for many, the opportunity to serve a cause they
believe and they, while earning a small income, and hoping a permanent job afterwards.
THE EEC: WORKING FOR 1.78 EURO TIME
What are the main features of the educational employment agreement (EEC)?
Duration: Expandable
schedule ceiling: ... 48 hours per week calculated over a six-month average, all contracts
signed by or employee may not exceed 80 days in any 12 consecutive months.
Rest time: Retractable
each week: minimum one full day, every day: at least 11 consecutive hours. This daily rest
period may, however, be eliminated or be reduced to eight hours, entitlement to
compensatory leave thereafter.
Compensation: Tagada in
strawberries. The minimum daily rate is 21.40 euros
a paid or facilitator to the floor, making twelve hours in a day so work for 1.78 euro per
hour!
Breach of contract: mercilessly
If one or facilitator is ill or injured, the employer may terminate the contract for
"inability of the licensee to continue to perform his duties".

deplore the "late French".
