Full card for the social partners. Tuesday, June 27, the authorities of the CFE-CGC decided to sign the national interprofessional agreement on the branch accidents at work-occupational diseases.

Patronage in unison

The protagonists are very logically delighted with this succession of national interprofessional agreements. “It highlights the vitality of social dialogue, on themes chosen by the actors present or proposed by the executive but in close connection with our demands”, confides Marylise Léon, the new general secretary of the CFDT. What matters in the first place, according to her, “it’s the content” : “I am thinking in particular of the text on value sharing, which provides for real progress for people employed in SMEs, she specifies. The diversity of the topics covered also shows that employee and employer organizations can be a source of proposals on crucial issues for workers. »
