Several public service unions denounce the sending of a message, Thursday, January 26, on the personal address of public officials to praise the government reform project.

“Deni of democracy, false propaganda, shameless diversion of files.” protested in the general co-secretary of the Federal Union of CGT State Unions, Céline Verzeletti, on Twitter. An “abuse” and an “damage to the privacy of agents”, according to the UNSA. Several public service unions denounced, Friday, January 27, the initiative of the Minister of Public Transformation and Function, Stanislas Guerini on Friday, January 27, to promote pension reform in a video sent to civil servants on January 26 on their Personal email address.
In this video of almost six minutes, where he appears standing in the subdued atmosphere of his office, the Minister defends a “reform of equity”, praising “the measures of justice, progress” which, in The public service, accompany the decline in the starting age. This is particularly the case for progressive retirement (cumulative part -time with part of the pension in advance), the profits of which will be extended to public service agents. It is also the maintenance of rights associated with the exercise of a painful profession, even if we leave it. It is finally the best consideration of professional wear.
Nothing new, therefore. But that is not so much that the unions are offended today. It is rather that, “to try to explain an unfair pension reform”, Stanislas Guerini used the “private email that the agents inform for their tax return, and not their professional address”, indignant Luc Farré , Secretary General of the UNSA Public Service. “The staff have never expressly consented to receive government propaganda on their personal messaging as is the case today,” protested in turn in solidarity, who sees there “an admission of weakness” of the government .
