El Khomri-Martinez: the incomprehensible draw – Le Figaro

FIGAROVOX / MOOD – Eric Verhaeghe is surprised that the Minister of Labour of the sixth world economy is unable to establish a dialogue and negotiate with the union first French


Eric Verhaeghe is Tripalio founder of a start-up of the union. This former student of ENA held positions in the managerial world and assumed various joint mandates. He was also director of social security. His next book, Does not help you and the state will help you seems to January 25 edition of the Rock. Find his columns on his website.


Myriam El Khomri emerged empty-handed from his interview with Philippe Martinez! No, that’s not possible! we do not believe! The Minister of Labour of the sixth world economy is unable to establish a dialogue and negotiate with the first French union, main leader of a dispute that has developed over several months against a law changing the rules for negotiating collective employment contract … we rub our eyes, we clip, we pat the head against the wall.

It would be a secondary subject, or a secondary union … but afford to spend what was billed as one of the key reforms of the five-year rolling to the end, on the rim, is simply astounding. We never thought that contemporary democracy could accept such dysfunctions, and with such lightness. Bumping the largest union in the country on such a subject, when one belongs to a leftist government, is absolute nonsense.

This means that the failure of the meeting this morning

If the damage was limited to that of the image at bottom would be laughed. But rampant strikes, sporadic blocking movements create a negative economic insecurity for the country. For normal operation of the country, the situation is unhealthy and dangerously wobbly.

For all companies, the situation is cataclysmic. We can no longer see the image of this country tarnished in the middle of the Euro, world ridiculed for its inability to reform itself. If the damage was limited to that of the image at bottom would be laughed. But rampant strikes, sporadic blocking movements create a negative economic insecurity for the country. For normal operation of the country, the situation is unhealthy and dangerously wobbly.

So we will continue like this for weeks, watching every week what new catastrophe will occur, what new blocking declares! Until July, the government assumes malfunction, to force it to undergo this kind of social guerrilla without offering any perspective other than his victory to wear, the balance of power, which will enable it probably . pass its law but that will be a huge collective political defeat

The picture is terrible: it is that of a worn power without vision, which requires no opportunity to make an intelligent compromise. The prospect of a frontal conflict until the promulgation of the law is simply terrifying. She wants to say. It’s like that, and not otherwise, and I have nothing else to tell you

And if the government practiced social dialogue

? Let’s recap the status of forces: the government does not get the employers an agreement on unemployment insurance convention. He will not get the protesters unions a compromise on the Labour Law. It offers no credible alternative.



Listening Myriam El-Khomri repeating that she had disagreements with the CGT that prevented any progress in the short term, the Heads enterprise necessarily had hallucinated and deplorable feeling that the Minister had not understood his job.

a company would proceed that way, she would be summoned by the government or by one its representatives to find a compromise. Its direction is booed, booed, accused of all the vices. Shareholders would eventually intervene and ask the leaders to leave.

The tragedy in this case is the nature of the law itself. It promotes social dialogue enterprise. To “get” it is essential to reassure French, nervous about the balance of power between employers and unions of employees at company level, jeopardizes the fundamental achievements of the labor law.

instead of reassuring the government worried. He would give the impression that this law is the beginning of a long takeover of social relations, a long phase beast authority, without relief, without ambition, for employees, he would take it otherwise rot … This strategy is deleterious.

What union responses?

listening Myriam El-Khomri repeating that she had disagreements with the CGT that prevented any development in short term, business leaders have necessarily had hallucinated and deplorable feeling that the Minister had not understood his job: to negotiate and get the country out of this terrible confrontation, tiring, unproductive. I imagine that many unionists have or will have the same reaction. Disagreements are possible, but the stubborn problem.



Faced with a state that imposes brutally, without consultation, without spirit of dialogue, a rule to majority unions the response could be terrible.

Faced with a state that imposes brutally, without consultation, without spirit of dialogue, a rule to majority unions, the response could be terrible. Some who supported the law will struggle to justify the method and may well switch in the other case. This is the case of the GSC. To support the government, we do not think the CFTC and CFDT. Suffice to say, given the real weight of the CFTC, the CFDT is now the only auxiliary force of government.

Within it, the CFDT is not monolithic. Some unions and even some federations dispute more or less discreetly Berger online. The rigidity of the Minister, his political manifesto under-equipped to deal with the situation, may feed the internal differences.

The failure of the meeting between Martinez and El-Khomri may well rekindle the embers of the conflict and to push some federations to take a fight that depletes. The Minister had the opportunity to come out on top of the conflict. By sticking to its positions without “coat” the failure (why not create a working group?), The fight is now dead and no prisoner.

We will pay dearly.
