What are the Macron decrees?
On 31 August the prime minister has presented his labour law reform.
Therse reforms are decreed. The government can apply them,
without a debate in the National Assembly.
The 5 decrees encompass 36 measures.
All in all 200 pages that are almost illegible.
With these reforms the government stipulates:
the inversion of the rules concerning the payment of bonusses.
Companies can override collective agreements.
In companies with less than 20 employees the employer is allowed to
negotiate separately with every single employee
and thus pass over the delegates.
The labour court can only be appealed to within one year.
The compensations that can be imposed by the labour court are restricted.
So a emplyer knows about the cost of a dismissal beforehand.
The tasks of an employee can be changed easily.
Teleworking is promoted,
Piece wage is favored over hourly wage.
Introduction of referendums in workplaces
that will undermine the legitimity of elected shop councils.
The government tries to destroy collective agreements and the labour law.
An unprecedented social setback with the applause of the employers' association.
For our future, for our rights for a dignified work for all.
Come to the strike on 12 September!
12 September, let's mobilise!
12 September, everybody to the streets!
