The employment of seniors will return to the news, promises Dussopt
The employment of seniors is one of “the subjects that we will have to look at again”, assures Olivier Dussopt on Europe 1-Cnews. “We have to work on back-to-work aid” for this age category. But “the vast majority of social advances” have been validated by the Constitutional Council, believes the Minister of Labor.
What interpretation of the May Day demonstrations?
“It’s not me who must say if the trade unions are legitimate”, answers Olivier Dussopt concerning the call for demonstrations on May 1st. “When there are demonstrations, there are always messages”, he acknowledges, assuring all the same that there are others, broader, “behind the retreats”. There will be “a resumption of dialogue” when the unions wish, further advances the Minister of Labor. “We must not be wary of the French, we must convince them”.
For Dussopt, it is necessary to move forward
“For those who oppose the reform, this decision (of the Constitutional Council) will not make them turn the page”, recognizes the Minister of Labor, who calls “of (his) wishes that the dialogue with the social partners can resume. I want to move forward and move on to other subjects”, it is “necessary”, judges Olivier Dussopt. But “we are facing opposition that is irresponsible,” he asserts. “In the Hemicycle, we heard noise, chaos, insults”.
“We have to change the method, work better”, suggests Olivier Dussopt, but, for him, when Elisabeth Borne “says that we must move forward on the reforms, she is right”, because “the worst solution is the immobility”.
Dussopt defends rapid promulgation
“Perhaps there is a form of symbol to wait 3 or 4 days” but there is no “brutality in the fact of applying the law”, judge Olivier Dussopt on Europe 1 and Cnews after the rapid promulgation of the reform, criticized by opponents of the text. “We can always do better, it’s a principle”, but we “respected a political commitment made” by Emmanuel Macron.
“No contempt” repeats Dussopt
“There is no contempt but a desire to work with everyone”, sweeps Olivier Dussopt, the Minister of Labor with Europe 1 / Les Echos / Cnews, responding in particular to Laurent Berger after his interview with Parisian. “The hand has been extended,” he insists.
Show that employees are “always motivated”
The objective of the mobilization of railway workers announced for this Thursday is “to demonstrate to the government that on the ground we always have employees who are motivated to bring down this reform”, details Erik Meyer, federal secretary of Sud Rail, on RMC. “Employees, unions remain determined not to apply this law,” he continues.
Entry into force on September 1
Yesterday, Olivier Véran confirmed that the progressive passage of the retirement age from 62 to 64 years would begin well as of September, at the rate of one quarter per year. The reassessment of certain small retirement pensions will be launched at the same time, assured the government spokesperson.
Soon new actions
The inter-union is betting on the traditional May 1 meeting which it wishes to transform into an “exceptional and popular mobilization day” against retirement at 64. In the meantime, the four SNCF unions announced “a day of expression of railway anger” on Thursday. The CGT also mentioned actions in all sectors on Thursday as well, as well as on April 28.
