While Emmanuel Macron convened a Defense Council on the energy crisis this Friday, Laurent Berger, the secretary general of the CFDT says he is “expecting nothing”. “From a Defense Council like this, I don’t expect much”, he said, adding: “At some point, we will have to get out of the management of a number of crisis situations by defense counsel”.
According to the number one of the CFDT, “many decisions will need to be deliberated, to be concerted, to be shared” and “we will need a lot of social dialogue on these issues too”.
“No generalized good proposal”
Laurent Berger asks that “the workers, the representatives of the companies be associated with the discussions. When we talk about energy sobriety in companies, we will have to talk about the organization of work, how employees come to work…”, he added. For him, “there will be no generalized good proposal”. For example, “perhaps, in some places, we will be able to mark certain particular days of teleworking”, but not everywhere.
Faced with interruptions of activity decided by certain companies linked to the increase in energy prices, like Duralex, “we will have to reactivate the support systems for workers, in particular in terms of partial unemployment” taken 100% charged, he said. “It will take support systems from the State, from Unedic which finances part of the partial unemployment”, and the consideration of “the whole sector, including subcontractors”, he said. it detailed.
