“We don’t deny it. The French are being asked to work more on the scale of their lives. It’s not the easiest thing to ask for.” Olivier Dussopt, Minister of Labour, was the guest of France Inter. In particular, he returned to pension reform and the increasing number of protesters in the streets.
First of all, he wanted to remind them that the postponement of the age to 64 years “is already a difference compared to the presidential campaign. We campaigned at 65. We made a different election, it allows us to better distribute the effort made among the French” .
“An economic sanction” in case of non-publication of the senior index
He then returned to the current talking points around the text. “Today, the initial text provides for the creation of an index to measure the involvement of companies in the work of the elderly. Companies with more than 300 employees will necessarily be interested.”
This number could increase to 50 but “it should not be a bureaucracy.” And the Minister adds: “If the company that should publish this index does not do so, there will be an economic penalty.” Penalty that could represent 1% of the payroll.
commercial obligation
Ensuite, Olivier Dussopt clarifies: “We believe an obligation of negotiation in the representative instances sur l’emploi des seniors. C’est ce sur quoi nous devons travailler avec les parlementaires. Ce sur quoi nous sommes prêts à avancer, la Première ministre l ‘has said”.
And finally, “on the review clause, we are willing to establish in the law, a deadline in 2027 for the government to render accounts in a very precise way on the implementation of the law, on the financial effects so that Parliament can be fully informed of what is happening and how it is going and whether Parliament wants to make adjustments. The minister goes further by positioning himself at a meeting each year.
