Does International Workers Day deeper? The CPME and the U2P, two of the representatives of employers organizations with MEDEF, have requested that the government grant, in particular to merchants, the right to work on May 1, and that there is no penalty pronounced this year.
According to her, this results in “Kafkai situations”, where “a fast food establishment can open while its neighboring baker who would venture to make his employees work with strong fines.”
She believes that “tolerance enjoyed the garden centers and today’s florists seems to be questioned while the sale in the life of the Valley prospered with impunity.”
“Absurd situations”
Therefore, the CPME requests that “those who wish to work on May 1, as soon as a branch or branch agreement to establish it, as it is already the case of other vacations.”
The U2P, which represents local companies, also argues that it is time to get out of absurd situations already unjust that make some local professionals, such as butchers, bakers, pork butchers, florists …, the law prevents its employees from working on May 1, while their activities are essential for the population. “
He points out that “business leaders remain in the most total vagueness”, despite certain tolerances and “recent government statements favorable to expand the possibilities of working on May 1”.
“Workers Law”
Therefore, he requests “the formal commitment of the State”, for this May 1, “not to sanction companies that wish to work on their employees, subject to their agreement and a double remuneration.”
This debate reappears every year. Recently, the minister responsible for labor and employment, Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet considered that “the application of the law is now difficult to understand.”
“May 1 is a day when we manifest by the Law of Workers,” said Denis Gravouil of the CGT. He does not believe in the idea that the work on May 1 will be based on volunteering. “We saw it with work on Sunday, at the beginning it was on the basis of volunteer, and once it was established, the volunteer has disappeared,” he denounces in BFMTV.
