In the absence of agreement during pension discussions, the CFDT and CFTC announced a final meeting, scheduled for Monday, June 23. Everyone will therefore consult their instances. The CFDT brings together an office on Wednesday, June 18 to decide the driving to hold, the same for the CFTC which wants to think if it is worth returning to the negotiation table on Monday. Patrick Martin du Medef will also consult his peers. Because Tuesday evening late, everyone left on an observation: as a compromise is impossible, it is blocking.
Jean-Jacques Marette, the mediator of this conclave, appointed by François Bayrou, who animates these discussions, proposed a synthesis, a text which takes up a mixed propositions of the two camps. But it is not sure that this text is consensus, Because the discussion really comes up against several points.
There is, first of all, the question of age, the unknowledge unions have accepted the maintenance of the legal age at 64, but they want to obtain a change on the age of the discount, that is to say the one that allows you to retire at full rate even when one has not every quarter contributed. Today, it takes 67 years, the unions are asking for 66, Jean-Jacques Marette is half the same and offers 66 and a half.
The other point of dispute of this conclave is arduousness. The CFDT is due to the fact that arduousness can give rise to early departures, Medef does not want to give in. There too Jean-Jacques Marette tries a median position: he proposes to establish differentiated arduous point systems which could give rise to early departures, as requested by the CFDT, but according to certain conditions, so that it is not the door open to a new system of bypass of the legal age, like long careers. For employers, it is a gas factory.
Anyway, for employers, the account is not there. For The MEDEF, as it stands, the financial closure of the system is not reached and there is no question of establishing contributions of contributions to finance developments in the reform, especially in the current economic period. And then, he does not say it openly, but, the employers also fears that in the event of agreement, the text is not unraveled when it passes to the Assembly and that the deputies keep only the concessions made to the unions.
Despite everything, the government always wants to believe in a possible agreement because beyond disagreements, no one left the table, neither in the employers’ camp, nor in the union camp: no one wants to take responsibility for a failure.
