Unemployment insurance: Macron agitates the threat of the "bonus-malus" on companies, anger of the employers

Lens – Emmanuel Macron on Friday threatened companies abusing short contracts to impose a "penalty" on their contributions "early next year", causing the anger of employers, at the time the social partners opened negotiations on unemployment insurance

"Companies that promote sustainable employment for people and therefore stability, they will have bonuses, people who make too short contracts they will have penalties, so it will incite them to change anyway", said the President of the Republic in Lens (Pas-de-Calais).

Mr. Macron, which is a campaign promise, was responding to a girl who said chained CSD at a round table in a social center.

However, Mr. Macron did not seem to close the door to discussions on this theme branch by branch, as the employers claim that rejects everything "bonus Malus".

"It is set up early next year, but we start this discussion professional branch by professional branch, and therefore business by company, to encourage them to change the habits in which they had sometimes been a little listed", he added in this statement may seem ambivalent.

According to Medef, discussions are underway in about fifteen branches, but only two have reached an agreement for now, metallurgy and cleanliness.

These declarations provoked the anger of the employers, because they intervened the day the social partners began their negotiations on unemployment insurance, at the headquarters of Unedic in Paris.
