Michel Picon, president of the U2P (local companies) re -applied on Thursday, September 25, why he would not go to the “BCBG” employer meeting of the Medef, refusing to see the small bosses that serve as “shots” to a “inverted class struggle”

The president of the organization of smaller employers, behind the Medef and the CPME, had already announced that he would not go to “the great meeting, all the combined employers organizations” announced by the president of Medef Patrick Martin for October 13, apparently without having consulted their peers.

We can “sit in the manner when it comes to the greatest interest in the country, but there is only the interest of a few,” Michel Picon continued, evoking the fears of the great employers to see the richest taxes in the 2026 budget.

“Interests that are not ours”

“I will not bring artisans, merchants and liberal professions in France to serve as a cannon fodder for interests that are not ours, even if we share a certain number of values ​​about what businesses are, (…) the way we have to help them instead of excessively taxing them.”

By pointing out that all French would be called to make efforts next year, including small bosses, he has made fun of the threat of a richer fiscal exile if they have too many taxes.

“How will employers organizations add a tension, even with trade union organizations, challenging employees’ claims?” Called by the unions to mobilize on October 2.

“Today, he concluded, what is offered to us is to demonstrate in an inverted class struggle. We do not have our place. For me, the demonstration of BCBG, no thanks.”
