Elisabeth Borne confirmed this Saturday, during her trip to Réunion, that the France Labor bill provides for “sanctions” for RSA beneficiaries who do not comply with the “accompaniment” course when returning to work.
On the third day of her trip to the island, the Prime Minister visited the Pôle emploi agency in the town of Saint-Leu-les Trois Bassins, where she signed the State Department agreement on the France Travail experiment with the president of the department. , Cirille Melchior.
The government wants to reorganize the employment and integration services, and France Travail intends to succeed Pôle emploi.
“At the same time, a bill will be presented at the beginning of June to the Council of Ministers. We want to give ourselves all the capacities to do the local missions, the departmental council, the region that is in charge of the formation of jobs. We are mobilizing all our forces to better support the beneficiaries of the RSA ”, he continued.
A “possibility to suspend”
And “indeed, I can confirm that in the bill there will be the possibility of suspending, for a brief period perhaps to begin with, in any case there will also be a system of sanctions when we will have fulfilled, on our part, our part of responsibility , that is to say that we will have put the beneficiary of the RSA in a position to follow the course that we have proposed.
This possibility of sanction will intervene as soon as “we have solved the other preliminary problems”, the “peripheral brakes” to reinstatement to employment, he specified, citing in particular the problem of childcare.
Réunion is one of the 18 departments that will experiment with the France Travail project, the only one abroad. The Seine-Saint-Denis department withdrew from the list, explaining that it rejects the government’s “aid conditionality” logic.
Previously, on Saturday morning, Elisabeth Borne had gone to the Maïdo Belvedere, and visited the Reunion Observatory for Atmospheric Physics. She then went to the adapted military service regiment of Saint-Pierre where she exchanged with volunteers.
The Prime Minister completes her first trip abroad this Saturday evening, a year after her appointment at Matignon.
