Employment of seniors: social dialogue at an impasse, after three and a half months of negotiations
(FRANCEINFO)
Discussions on the employment of seniors between unions and employers have not resulted in any agreement, after three and a half months of negotiations. A failure which can also be explained by government interference, according to a labor law specialist.
Three and a half negotiations, and no common ground. Discussions on senior employment between the executive and the unions have failed. A social dialogue which is once again at an impasse. Is this failure only linked to disagreements between unions and employers? For Stéphanie Matteudi-Lecocq, doctor of law, specialist in collective and individual labor law, the fault also lies with government interference: “For around fifteen years, the government, which is normally the guarantor of social relations, has tended to become the manager of social relations.“
“Social time is a long time”
Thus, the governmentwill set the social agenda” And “impose framing rules which will limit room for maneuver” during negotiations“even though we all know it: social time is a long time”, continues Stéphanie Matteudi-Lecocq. The signing of the text, scheduled for Wednesday April 10, was finally postponed to a later date, pending the final decision of the various parties.
