The causes of social conflict will multiply

Despite a slight recovery in growth and stabilization of unemployment, social re-entry 2009 has tunes of embers hidden under ashes. Until the summer, employees who have seen their jobs put at risk have responded with the means, although many have been those of SMEs, private floor and means to layoffs. That one is surprised not that these employees have claimed more and more strong benefits: they are in no way associated with the choice of their company and golden parachutes for their leaders insult the morality and common sense. That one is surprised not that they threatened to destruction their own plant: number of purely financial strategies despise the work and its tools. Which can surprise on the other hand, is that these employees have demonstrated that they did not really confidence in upgrading schemes and in the prospect of employment. Which shows that we have not yet achieved the objective of security of employment posted by policies and social partenaires, and the permanent social dialogue, two conditions now indispensable to sociale cohesion in our global economy.

Social re-entry will therefore be on the employment front. So with effect postponement of several months, following the decline of economic activity, and after the collapse of the temporary contracts and missions, it is now that the impact of restructuring and business closures caused by the crisis will be felt. The causes of social conflict will multiply. It is an urgent need to further strengthen the means for the job, to give serious opportunities to those who will lose their. In addition to the acceleration of the implementation of the inter-professional national agreement on the modernisation of the labour market, three urgent actions should be undertaken on the basis of experiments which have already been proven, here or elsewhere.

The first is the accompanying employees laid off to a new job, with the involvement of their business and, if it fails, to the State. In 1984, on the filing of Creusot Loire balance, we had established an ad hoc structure to all the employees laid off until their reclassification. Celle-CI remarkably accomplished his mission. The current contract of professional transition is similar to the device. It should be generalized to all industrial sectors exposed to international concurrence. It is easing this type of approach can be escape fausses solutions that are luggage checks.

The second action should engage is the re-industrialization, as accompaniment to the reclassification is necessarily incidental to an action for the creation of jobs. At the height of the industrial restructuring of the 1980s, a specific Department had been created. Later, it is an interdepartmental mission of economic change (Mime) who coordinated central services of the State and maintained the field action of the prefects for the re-industrialization and economic development, in conjunction with businesses and unions. Purpose to the re-industrialization just be put in place, but need them resources and coordination.

Finally, it is necessary to leave social dialogue of his weakness. For redundancies, there are instances responsible for making the relay: employment, branch or territoriales JABs. They are also responsible to anticipate change. If they do not work, is first and foremost that employer stakeholders to dump their collective social responsibility, either on large companies, who have the means to manage themselves their social plans, with all the inequalities are known, either on the State, when they leave the mistigri in the public service of employment. Should be an additional obligation of social regulation for employers This could be the issue, before the emergency.
