It was a highly anticipated meeting. The day after his televised address, Emmanuel Macron received the social partners this Tuesday morning at the Élysée to discuss following the adoption of the pension reform and to discuss “the three projects” listed on Monday evening, including the “pact of life at work”. The Head of State gives them “until the end of this year” to “build” the “pact of life at work” which he calls for to turn the page on the pension crisis.
“The objective that we must set ourselves is that the complete agenda of the negotiations be defined in the coming weeks, the coming months in a solid way” “and that we give you the time for the negotiation, I would say until ‘at the end of this year to be able to build this pact,’ said Emmanuel Macron at the opening of this meeting.
He assured not wanting to “give the feeling of rushing”, while the boss of the Medef Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux had affirmed Monday evening, after the presidential address, that the social dialogue would take longer than the 100 days that seemed to him outsource Emmanuel Macron.
Negotiation “without limits, without taboos”
A meeting in which the unions were supposed to take part but the latter, still revolted against the pension reform, decided to shun it, saying they wanted to wait at least until the traditional day of social mobilization on May 1 to exchange.
“My wish is that we can start the discussion today”, explained Emmanuel Macron, but “the door is obviously open” in order to see “after May 1” the “union organizations which wish to enter definition” of a “social agenda”. “If you are ready, trade unions and employers’ organizations, to go faster, we are completely at your disposal”, insisted the president, reaffirming his objective of a negotiation “without limit, without taboos”.
Emmanuel Macron announced Monday evening to give himself 100 days, until a “first assessment” on July 14, to launch his post-retirement projects, including this “pact of life at work”.
These negotiations must cover the provisions of the pension reform invalidated by the Constitutional Council as well as other aspects. “How to live better from work, how to live better at work, how to better prepare for the end of careers and retraining”, listed the president. “All questions of remuneration, obviously for branches that are below the legal minimum wage”, “the question of professional wear and tear”, “working conditions”, the fight “against the part-time suffered which creates workers poor” or even “the universal time savings account”, he continued.
