She denounces “A government which is completely disconnected from what is happening in the world of work”. The unemployment insurance reform wanted by the government would be “A total carnage for job seekers”with a volume of savings “Who has never been done”denounces the secretary general of the CFDT, Marylise Léon, Monday July 21.

The union representative praised a “Frank and direct explanation” After an exchange with the Minister of Labor, Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, on the social negotiations desired by the government as part of the budgetary effort claimed by François Bayrou for 2026. “A reform that would report from 2 to 2.5 billion euros” initially, and even “Between 3 and 4 billion in full year, when the devices would have entered into force”said Marylise Léon.

On issues concerning labor law, “There cannot be negotiations if it is not for social progress”rejects the secretary general of the CFDT. “The question of flexibility is not the subject of 2025” :: “The world of work refused to work two more years with pensions” AND “He also refuses to work two more days with the removal of two holidays”assures Marylise Léon in the face of the Prime Minister’s proposals. She also believes that the idea of monetizing the fifth week of paid leave is “Extremely unfair”.

Marylise Léon says that “All possibilities for action for the CFDT remain open”While the inter -union must meet on September 1. The CFTC was also to be received during the day, while CGT, FO and CFE-CGC declined these exchanges immediately, pushing them back to the start of the school year.
