Two days before the end, François Bayrou wants to believe that there is a “possibility” of “finding an agreement”

“There will be no agreement with the CFDT if the employers are not advancing more on arduousness, if it does not advance on the repair aspect,” nevertheless warned Marylise Léon, number one of the CFDT in “La Tribune on Sunday”.

He displays his optimism. “I think that the possibility exists to find a dynamic agreement, because what is in gestation is the return of social democracy”estimated Prime Minister, François Bayrou, according to remarks reported by La Tribune on Sunday.

“I don’t exclude that they (social partners) need a few more days “ To achieve an agreement, he suggested, in comments cited this time by The Parisian Sunday. The end of the conclave, scheduled for Tuesday, June 17, was initially scheduled for May 28.

Always very unpopular, the pension reform, which repels the age of departure at 64, had been challenged in the street in early 2023 by hundreds of thousands of demonstrators and all employee unions, before being adopted without vote by Parliament thanks to article 49.3. of the Constitution.

If with the departures of the conclave of certain organizations such as FO, CGT or patterns of the U2P and taking into account the firm opposition of the MEDEF, the prospect of returning to the postponement of the legal age at the end of the conclave seems illusory, other subjects were put on the table such as the arduousness, the careers of women, the long careers or the question of the discount.

At the forefront of the last conclave meeting, a reform of the arduousness component is at the heart of the hypothetical compromise. “There will be no agreement with the CFDT if employers are not advancing more on arduousness, if it does not advance on the repair aspect”warned Marylise Léon, number one of the CFDT in THE Tribune Sunday. MEDEF president Patrick Martin believes that employers “Already a huge step”recalling that “We were opposed to any evolution of professional wear and tear”.

On arduousness and wear, MEDEF offers in particular to review the professional prevention account so that it takes into account the handling of heavy loads, painful postures or mechanical vibrations, an opening vis-à-vis the CFDT which has long demanded the consideration of these three criteria. MEDEF also offers “Modify the device of incapacity/disability which today concerns almost one in 7 people who liquid his retirement”In “lowering the age of departure from 62 to 61 years”.
