At the request of the President, a delegation of the CGT was received * Monday, February 28.
This meeting is part of Nicolas Sarkozy will display a "reconnection" with the unions after their unanimous opposition against the pension reform and persistent mobilization of millions of employees during the last half of 2010. Yet plaintiff
this interview, the Head of State nor has hinted that he was more receptive than before to the claims and aspirations of the CGT. That
Whether the situation of employment, purchasing power, the interview confirms real differences of opinion on both the current situation as the responses to it. The president greatly underestimates the corporate responsibility in the current social situation.
The delegation focused its interventions on:
Our rejection of a pact known as the "competitiveness" as we call austerity pact, likely to be adopted by governments across Europe and aims to take money for the consequences of the crisis by addressing employees their rights to pensions, wages, working hours, public budget ... The CGT has reiterated his determination to fight this policy with other unions in Europe, including the euro on April 9 event in Budapest organized by the ETUC. France is even more inappropriate to blame the employees on their competitiveness as employers in the CAC 40 are the highest paid of all Europeans, that the dividends declared to shareholders ahead after record this year while in parallel austerity salary and job insecurity are widespread.
Our discontent on the situation of the industry that now appear in France in the last European countries. The CGT has protested against the government's choice to relay official theses of MEDEF (through the National Conference of Industry) that tries to justify the closures by labor costs that would be too high by other countries, including Germany. CGT recalled that so far no concrete action has been given to our proposal to create a new industry for ship scrapping yet relayed by the Grenelle de la Mer
The "dependency". CGT reiterated the need to include reflection and future action within the social security and, according to its founding principles as well as benefits for its funding rules, CGT believes that all persons "in loss of autonomy ", not just the elderly, should be considered. If the President has sought to maintain a certain vagueness as to the basic principles, it has confirmed the intention to resort to new financing (CSG, insurance ...) that will have consequences for employees.
The conflict of SNCM. The CGT was unacceptable that the state now for 25% of the capital, remains silent on the future of the company that elicits a strike lasting several weeks. It is urgent to organize the roundtable claimed by staff and local authorities.
