Parliament is preparing to definitively adopt the unemployment insurance reform. The deputies validated the text, Tuesday, November 15, before the adoption envisaged in the Senate, Thursday. The two chambers reached an agreement last week during a joint joint committee (CMP).
The government has finally accepted, as demanded by the right, that two refusals of CDI after a CDD or an interim contract on the same position lead to the loss of unemployment compensation in the future. It will be up to the employer to inform Pôle emploi. In addition, the provision equating the abandonment of post with a resignation, introduced in the Assembly by amendments of the presidential majority and the elected Les Républicains, was ratified.
The text of the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, also triggers the possibility, by decree, of modulating certain rules of unemployment insurance (such as the duration of compensation) according to the situation of the labor market. Although the unions are unanimously opposed to it, consultation is underway with the social partners, and the government will make known “retained arbitrations” on November 21, for an application of modulation at the start of 2023.
“Disposable vision of employees”
The Assembly gave the green light by 210 votes to 140, despite opposition from the left and the extreme right. The text bears a “right-wing reform” who “will make the situation worse [des] unemployed in our country, according to the communist Pierre Dharréville. The “rebellious” defended in vain a motion to reject this text which, according to them, installs “a disposable vision of employees”while the Socialists announced a referral to the Constitutional Council.
Finally, according to the deputies of the National Rally, with this bill, “punishment and guilt are the order of the day”.
