Union organizations accuse the government of not taking into account the two holidays specific to Alsace-Moselle in the application of its law of transformation of the public service. Candidates for the elections of June 12 and 19 are invited to position themselves on the maintenance of local specificities.
by
Four days from the first round of the legislative elections, the departmental sections CGT, FO, CFTC, FSU and Solidaires decided to put on the table the question of the local law of Alsace-Moselle, in particular the maintenance of the two holidays Additional from which employees of the three departments concerned benefit (Friday, Friday, December 26). Payment of these two unemployed days is called into question by the law of transformation of the public service of August 6, 2019, which the local authorities are supposed to apply to 1 er January 2023 at the latest.
The text provides in particular an annualization of the working time of territorial officials on the basis of 1,607 hours for the whole of France, without consideration of the two holidays specific to Alsace-Moselle. Their existence should however lower the annual working time to 1,593 hours in these three departments. “Besides, during joint negotiations concerning the application of the Aubry law in 2000, we signed on the basis of 1,593 hours, and that was not a problem for anyone. And, more recently, the merger of Regions did not question these two additional holidays either, “recalls Jean-Martin Adam, president of the Bas-Rhin CFTC and employee of a metallurgical factory.
Questioned at the end of 2021 by Senator André Reichardt (Les Républicains), Prime Minister Jean Castex then opposed the latter an end of non-reception: the existence of additional holidays cannot give rise to a decrease in time annual work. Two weeks ago, the question was asked again, to Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne this time, by union representatives, who did not receive an answer.
Meanwhile, elected officials from the presidential majority have expressed themselves, faced with what they consider a false controversy: “There will be no impact or consequence in terms of working time or Remuneration for Alsatian and Mosellans civil servants (…). It is in fact to distribute fourteen hours out of two hundred and fifty-two working days or… three minutes of additional work per day worked! “, Indicate in a joint statement and ten deputies and deputies and deputies and Alsatian senators and the former Minister of the Government of Jean Castex, Brigitte Klinkert.
“an attack in good standing”
The union representatives fear on the contrary that the Dussopt law will open the way to a general questioning of these holidays, affecting the entire public service, or even the private sector, in the medium term. “Already, the executives of the UIMM [Union of metallurgy industries and trades] do not hide that on Good Friday and December 26 inquiring them. Reducing these two holidays to three minutes a day, this is just aims to make up the Problem. Behind, it is our local law which undergoes an attack in good standing, “said Laurent Feisthauer, departmental delegate of the CGT of Bas-Rhin.
