Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne invited the unions on May 16 and 17 in a bilateral format, Matignon said on Friday May 5, who told Reuters that the invitations had been sent, without “definite agenda”.
Matignon announced on Monday that invitations would be sent at the end of the week to the trade unions which called for a new day of mobilization against the pension reform on June 6.
Concerning the consultations with the executive, the unions had affirmed after the demonstration of 1is-May they ” to work[aie]nt to common inter-union proposals involving the employers, so that the concerns of the [salariés] are finally taken into account” while confirming “their refusal of the pension reform”.
Negotiate, discuss or “blablater”
CFDT boss Laurent Berger ruled on Thursday that the « bataille » against the pension reform was not “not finished”. In particular, he appealed to “all parliamentarians” who will examine on June 8 a bill from the independent group Freedoms, Independents, Overseas Territories and Territories (LIOT) aimed at repealing the postponement of the retirement age to 64 years.
Regarding the upcoming interviews at Matignon, which have been discussed for several days, “we will have a method requirement” : “We would like to know if it is to negotiate, discuss or “blablater””he said.
If the CFDT intends to accept the invitation, the secretary general of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), Sophie Binet, has been much more cautious about its participation.
On April 26, Elisabeth Borne presented the roadmap for “hundred days” decreed by Emmanuel Macron to revive the executive after the pension reform. Two bills – one on the France Travail project, another to transcribe the national interprofessional agreement between unions and employers on the sharing of value in business – must be quickly presented to the Council of Ministers.
Mme Borne also said he wanted, by July 14, to build a social agenda with the unions and employers to develop “a new work life pact”. Agenda supposed to lead to new reforms which could in particular include measures planned in the pension reform but censured by the Constitutional Council.
