Resume the dialogue. After a tenth day of mobilization against the pension reform on Tuesday, Laurent Berger announced that the inter-union was invited to Matignon early next week, ending weeks of lack of dialogue between the two parties.
We do not know for the moment the agenda of this meeting, according to information from BFMTV.
“We’ll go, we’ll talk about it among ourselves”
Alors que les syndicats veulent évidemment parler de la loi sur retraite à 64 ans, dont ils demandent tous le retrait, la Première ministere avait prévu de recontrer les centrales en avril pour parler “usure professionnelle” et “reconversions”, en contouring le sujet de reform.
“What is certain is that we will go to talk about pensions. And work because that goes, but (above all) pensions.” He still insisted on number 1 of the reformist union.
The government says no to “mediation”
Enough to relaunch the dialogue between the Executive and the centrals, which has stalled in recent weeks. The government spokesman, Olivier Véran, closed the door this Tuesday at noon on Laurent Berger’s proposal to launch a “mediation” with “3 or 4 people.”
Relations have been very conflictive in recent weeks between the executive and the CFDT. Emmanuel Macron had accused Laurent Berger of not having “offered any compromise”, during his television interview last Wednesday.
The Head of State had also affirmed that the trade unionist “had gone before his congress proposing to increase the deadlines (for contributions)”.
Little optimism in the ranks of the CGT
Laurent Berger had responded harshly, accusing him of “lying” and “remaking history” to “hide his inability to find a majority to vote for his unjust reform.”
On the CGT side, time is rather skeptical. “If it is to repeat the arguments that we have been given from the beginning, this meeting will not do much good,” said Olivier Mateu, the head of the union in Bouches-du-Rhône, on our antenna.
A new day of mobilization is scheduled for April 6.
