The Minister of Labor was the guest of “8h30 franceinfo” on Tuesday October 17, 2023.
Olivier Dussopt, mMinister of Labor, Full Employment and Integration, was the guest of “8h30 franceinfo”, Tuesday October 17, 2023. Branches below the minimum wage, workers in trades in tension… He answers questions from Jérôme Chapuis and Salhia Brakhlia.
Branches below the minimum wage: eight months to “give time for social dialogue to do its work”
A period of eight months is given to branches below the minimum wage to comply, “to give time for social dialogue to do its work”, assures Olivier Dussopt. This clarification comes the day after the social conference on wages organized by the government. During this meeting, Élisabeth Borne threatened branches with minimum wages below the minimum wage to lower their exemptions, if there is no progress by June 2024.
The minister sees it as a form of “incentive”. “The principle that we have retained with the Prime Minister is to support, to boost social dialogue. I will first receive them, remind them of the rules of the game”, he specifies. Currently, 56 branches are not in compliance, including “8 to 10 sustainably”that’s to say “for 18 months”, specified the minister. When a branch is permanently in this situation of non-compliance, “if things don’t move, we can force the branch to merge with another”he warns.
Workers in professions in tension must not be “the victims of a terrorist climate which does not concern them”
“It would be absolutely terrible if men and women who work daily, with an employment contract, were victims of a terrorist climate that does not concern them”, reacts Olivier Dussopt. The text on immigration is at the heart of all discussions, particularly since the terrorist attack in Arras. The main suspect is a young man born in Russia, in the Caucasus, aged 20 and in an irregular situation in France. The right continues to oppose the regularization aspect of undocumented workers in professions in shortage and threatens not to vote for the text. Arguments that “don’t share” the Minister of Labor.
