The Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt explained this Thursday on BFMTV that it was necessary to “go back to work” and find agreements in the coming weeks between the government and the unions.
“Imagining a great mass of reconciliation does not work”. The Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt spoke this Thursday on BFMTV about the tense social climate since the start of the pension reform, between the unions and the government.
While the government wants to “appease” in the next 100 days its relationship with the unions united against the reform, considering a reconciliation between the latter and the government would be “artificial” according to the minister.
“We have to get back to work”
Nevertheless, “we have to get back to work”, estimated the one who wishes to find agreements in the coming weeks.
“We made a commitment with the president, with the Prime Minister,” said the minister. “The agreement reached between four of the five representative unions and the three employers’ organizations concerning the sharing of value (…) succeeded a few weeks ago”.
“No one imagined that it would succeed,” recalled Olivier Dussopt. “We are going to enshrine the provisions of the agreement in the law in an integral and faithful manner,” he added before explaining that he planned to present the text to the Council of Ministers between the end of May and the beginning of June.
