Friday, March 11, at 16th day of the war in Ukraine, the increase in the prices of raw materials such as gas or steel forced French companies to go into partial unemployment.
In Damparis (Jura), around fifty employees of the Jurassienne of French ceramics are placed on partial unemployment. To operate, the company runs ovens all day. With the war in Ukraine, his gas bill has increased tenfold. Employees hope that this break will be short, but it could last six months.
In Massiac (Cantal), a construction company will also have to put its staff on partial activity. With the rise in steel prices, it is no longer profitable. “We do construction sites where we have the purchase price of the beams which is higher than the price of the estimate”, explains Michaël Boyer, Director of CMF Structures. However, according to Nicolas Mancret, labor lawyer, not all companies will be able to benefit from partial unemployment. Only those exposed to a big drop in turnover could touch it.
