Why call a new strike just September 23, while the proposed pension reform passes the National Assembly on 15?
Following the strong mobilization of Tuesday, September 7, does not it should strike while the iron is hot? Certainly, if that is the withdrawal of the government project that you want!
debonair And if the location of the CFDT is not surprising, the ambiguity of the CGT on the form and substance of this issue is more amazing ...
After a successful day of action on September 7, the few concessions made by Nicolas Sarkozy is obviously far from acceptable to a project that remains unjust, and denounces the entire Left and labor employees.
But it's still too much for some! So for the newspaper Les Echos: " Another salvo of criticism, much less to obstruct the executive, came from employers' organizations: they are mounted to the plate yesterday to denounce the expansion of the reverse taking account of the hardship . " There is a significant risk the financial benefits expected from this reform " , says CGPME .
the union side, Bernard Thibault quickly rule them out for some concessions dropped by Nicolas Sarkozy: " what he said is at the margin with regard to the substantive disagreements. The device of hardship remains subject medical criteria and individual. The reference to negotiation of branches to oblige any results, so that business is hostile. Developments on the long careers remain unclear and reform remains fundamentally unfair. "
In this context, how to organize the response and force the government to back down? First there are the official speeches: "More intransigence will dominate over the idea of strikes renewable win minds " , warned the secretary general of the CGT , in an interview to Le Monde, titled" We did not intend release . Hence its setting custody : " can go to a deadlock, a social crisis of magnitude . "
And there's the joint statement signed by the CGT, CFDT , CFE / CGC , CFTC , FSU and UNSA : " Building on the exceptional success of the September 7 unions consider announcements President of the Republic, which were a response to protests, do not change the unjust and unacceptable to the proposed reform. Met September 8, 2010 they decided to continue and amplify the mobilization process for just and effective measures to ensure the sustainability of the PAYG system. They call for making the Wednesday, September 15, the day of voting by members of the bill, a day of great initiatives and arrests of MPs, cabinet members and the President of the Republic in the departments and districts. Before the debate the Senate they decide to do Thursday, September 23 a great day of strikes and demonstrations across the country . "
On the question of the date of the next day of action on Daniel Schneidermann @ rrêt on images , reacted healthily as of September 23: " Why not earlier? Two and a half million people in the street, giving it momentum. Seen from afar, very humbly, it seems that the only action that is likely to roll back government to do waive the postponement of the legal age of retirement that everyone (...) supremely unjust judge, as it aims to get paid by the workers' pensions framework, the only thing, c 'is a general strike renewable , as in 95. With general economic blockade, no subways, trains stopped and apoplexy daily for Jean-Pierre Pernaut. Out of this force majeure event, it is in adjusting the dosage, homeopathy. So much to say that the 60 years (65 at full rate), unions make a cross over . "
For these reasons, i n TF or Partners have signed the Joint Communique of the other unions. Explanation in the newspaper La Tribune: " Force Workers and Solidarity on Thursday confirmed their participation in the new day of strikes and demonstrations of 23 September against the pensions reform agreed by six unions Wednesday (...) . The two unions had not signed the Appeal for Inter, not wishing to initially wait until then to show again. "
TF , directed by Jean-Claude Mailly, said it will scroll " its own word order " to namely requirement for a withdrawal of governmental text . The station also reported that its unions will carry out actions on Sept. 15, the day of voting the bill to the National Assembly, on first reading. This was also announced Inter.
Meanwhile, Solidarity has confirmed its position not to sign the joint statement. " We do not agree on a strategy of action is to refer to 23 follow-up of 7" told Reuters Thierry Lesca, member of the General Secretariat. " must register a movement in time, drive a rhythm, a rise in power. The 23 must be followed, 24, 25, 26 ... "
Moreover, in the joint statement signed by the CGT, CFDT , CFE / CGC , CFTC , and FSU UNSA, nothing is said about an important aspect of this case which is not only the age of retirement but also number of annuities that may be necessary to qualify for a pension full rate. This last point was paramount for all employees who do not 41.5 annuities provided by the reform will be forced to leave after 60 years failing to get a discount of their pensions. And we better understand the conciliatory stance of the CFDT when you know it had already endorsed the Fillon reform in 2003 and the principle lengthening the contribution period beyond 40 years, to qualify for a full pension ...
Nothing is said also on the need to repeal the law Balladur in 1993, went completely unnoticed trade unions in the summer of 1993 and now responsible for nearly 20% decrease in the amount of pensions:
- Passage of the number of contribution years progressively from 37.5 to 40 years for the private sector .
- Average annual salary (SAM), calculated on until 1993 10 best years' salary, calculated now on the best 25 years
- automatic annual indexation of pensions, initially calculated from the index of average wage increase, based on today's official price index dating from 1946 and does not reflect, by far, the reality of price change. This causes each year, a second devaluation of the pensions, already cut by the CSG and CRDS.
So today, not to mention the withdrawal of this project, not to seek the repeal of the Balladur is to seek to negotiate from a very bad foundation, no matter what happens to lead to a catastrophic outcome for employees.
Alas, the CFDT and CGT union leaders seem to have chosen, taking care not to say, the way some complicity with the government to prevent the merits of the case being addressed and that the challenge takes too big ...
