Twenty-four hours after taking office, the new Minister of Labor, full employment and integration, Olivier Dussopt, hired, Tuesday, May 24, a cycle of bilateral meetings with the social partners. First guest: Laurent Berger. The secretary general of the CFDT was received for one hour with the number two of his Confederation, Marylise Léon, and two national secretaries – Yvan Ricordeau and Frédéric Sève. The fact that these series of exchanges begin with the Cédétiste power station is undoubtedly not trivial: Emmanuel Macron and the government of Elisabeth Borne want to try to relax relations with the number one, resolutely opposite – like all the others – to pension reform.
On the postponement to 65 years of the age of opening up to a pension, “we repeated that we did not want to deal with the subject at all (…) during the summer,” said Mr. Shepherd at the end of his tête-à-tête with Mr. Dussopt. “I think it’s not topical for us, you have to be serious,” he added. A wish that may be granted because the first “concern of the minister is the question of purchasing power”, according to the leader of the CFDT. Mr. Berger wants “a conference” to be “very very quickly” organized on this theme, “before the presentation of the law” which will contain various measures to support the standard of living of households, the goal being that “everyone can do Affects its proposals “.
First positive contact
The cedeist manager described the confirmation as “Dussopt, the revaluation of pensions during the summer as” good news “. He also reaffirmed his request for an increase in social minima. He also indicated that the discussion with the Minister had made it possible to approach the September 2017 orders relating to the rewriting of the Labor Code. Texts that the CFDT criticizes because they have impoverished, according to her, social dialogue, in particular in companies.
“We must review [these ordinances], hammered Mr. Berger. The CFDT does not speak of their repeal, but to give more resources to staff representatives, more means to deal with security and health issues At work, more space for substitutes [in the instances]. “
The trade unionist judged the first positive contact. “It is a good sign that the Minister of Labor wants to meet the trade union organizations and employers’ organizations fairly quickly after his arrival [rue de Grenelle],” summed up Mr. Berger. He saw it as “a desire to work with a method that is that of consultation and dialogue”. Wednesday, Mr. Dussopt must meet the president of Medef, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux.
