Prime Minister François Bayrou proposes to suppress two vacations, citing “for example” Easter Monday “and” 8-May “.
“It is necessary to work more, that the entire nation works more to produce and that the situation of France improves, the prime minister declared. I propose that two vacations are eliminated in the year: I propose on Easter Monday and on May 8. I am ready to accept others.”
For François Bayrou, the goal is to “reconcile our country with work, with work development.”
With eleven vacations in the Labor Code, including January 1, Easter Monday, May 1, May 8, July 14 or even December 25, France is fine Lotie but it is not the best, far from that. Slovakia, with 15 holidays, is ahead, as well as a dozen European countries, such as Malta, Spain or Bulgaria, for example.
With the abolition of two vacations, as François Bayrou, France would have only nine, the smallest number in Europe with Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands.
“He will report 3.5 or 4 billion euros per day, explains Cristian de Boissieu, professor emeritus of economy at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. I suspect this approach. The prime minister did not quote on Monday of Pentecost […] But we do not know who works, who does not work and suddenly informs much less than expected. “
France had already tried this path of “abolition of a holiday” with the creation of a day of solidarity after the health wave of the heat wave of 2003.
If today solidarity does not exist, it has become a contribution of solidarity for autonomy (CSA). This CSA materializes by an employers participation up to 0.3% of their payroll.
According to the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA), this day of solidarity reported around 3 billion euros per year for a total of 36 billion euros since its implementation in 2004.
