Job negotiations: Employers ask for senior permanent contract, government remains skeptical

Meanwhile, discussions that began in January, one day a week, continue at a senatorial pace. This Friday it will be a matter of reviewing all proposals again. “Everyone needs to take stock of their demands,” some participants report, but at the moment there is no sign of white smoke emerging to reach an agreement. “January was dedicated to diagnosis, February to everyone’s conclusions. The executive decided the end of March for us to succeed,” recalls Olivier Guivarche, national secretary of the CFDT. “It is difficult to clearly see the intentions of employers, everything is still very vague. We will have to wait until Thursday, March 7, before negotiations get serious and serious business begins,” warns Christelle Tiffinn, CFE-KGC negotiator.
