The contours of this sixth day of mobilization against the pension reform are emerging. The intersyndicale is counting on an exceptional mobilization on Tuesday, hoping that it will be long-lasting to make the government bend. The movement already promises to be very popular in schools, the 7 main unions having called on March 7 to “totally close schools, colleges, high schools”.
The number of strikers in schools is expected to rise to 60% on Tuesday in schools, announced the first primary school union, FSU-SNUipp. In this context, some parents have already had to review their organization. In view of the closure of establishments, is it possible to stop to be able to take care of your child?
The strike cannot justify a work stoppage, immediately indicates Caroline André-Hesse, lawyer in labor law and individual and collective social relations. “If the employee wishes not to work on this day, he must be able to take a day of RTT or a day off, but he cannot stop, as if he were sick”, she explains.
No derogatory device
There is no “derogatory device as we may have had during the Covid-19 period”, agrees Corinne Metzger, lawyer specializing in labor law. On the other hand, some collective agreements may possibly provide days for employees with custody problems. “But again, this is not a general principle,” insists the lawyer.
Other agreements, more numerous this time, still provide days for employees whose child is sick. But in this case, a medical certificate is necessary. The easiest way is still to “get closer to your employer” to determine what options are possible for not working on this day of strike. “However, asking for an RTT or a day off seems the most obvious,” insists Corinne Metzger.
