The device of partial unemployment was introduced in France to avoid redundancies at the height of the crisis-related coronavirus is not going to "last for a very long time," but a system designed to support businesses facing difficulties enduring will be put in place July 1, said Friday the minister of Labour, Muriel Pénicaud.

In its current form, the arrangements put in place in march, and has benefited nearly 13 million employees since, allows the State and the Unedic to repay to the companies the remuneration they pay to their employees placed on partial unemployment. It has already been modulated to the 1st of June and the companies are now participating to the tune of 15%.

Tourism, aerospace, automotive...

"The current system is not going to last very long," said Muriel Pénicaud on RTL. But "we are going to create an activity system of partial long-term" to support businesses whose prospects of recovery are more late, for example, in "tourism, the aeronautics, the automobile industry, and sometimes companies even in sectors that are going to better," explained the minister.

The terms and conditions of this project will be defined in the context of discussions with the social partners, which should open in mid-June and carry on a series of topics, including the reform of unemployment insurance, youth employment or training.

through this new formula, the State would "offset some of the loss of the purchasing power of the employees of a company which would have been concluded a collective agreement on the reduction of working time related to the decline of activity. But "there are always counterparties negotiated" in terms of job retention.

"Pass the cap"

"If, for example, there are 20% of activity in the least, instead of laying off 20% of employees, while the world remains," she said, noting that the goal is "to pass the course, avoiding the maximum of social plans".

According to the minister, for the moment, the number of social plans in France is comparable to that of the last year, "but there are many who are preparing, this is why we want to get out of this new device for the 1st of July, for this to be an alternative" that would prevent "a tsunami of layoffs".

This initiative of M. Pénicaud sounds like a self-repudiation of its reform of the unemployment, of which the second part has sunk body and property in early march. Indeed, this second component would be weakened even further to almost 700,000 unemployed people, the rise of the health crisis.
If by chance an alternative to the current power is realized, it will be necessary to repeal all the laws involved in this disastrous five-year term.
