This meeting comes as the social climate remains tense and the transformations desired by the executive to accelerate the return to employment are arousing an outcry from the social partners.
Beyond the extension of the current rules until the end of the year, Emmanuel Macron indeed wishes to make unemployment insurance
“stricter when too many jobs are unfilled, more generous when unemployment is high” .

On Friday, an inter-union press release signed by the CGT, FO, CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC, Union Syndicale Solidaires, FSU, Unsa and several organizations representing youth underlined the opposition of these actors. to the government's plans in this area: "
again stigmatizing job seekers by reducing their rights to compensation is deeply unfair
", protest the signatories, adding that "
targeting unemployment rights is totally ineffective
".
Denouncing the "
dogmatic logic
" of the government, the secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, again fired red balls against the plans of the executive, on France 2, Monday morning.
“
In the public debate, it does not move many people, it continues to horrify me, because it is believed that there would be people who would be profiteers.
It is no longer that reality
,” he sighed, calling on the authorities to no longer “
stigmatize the unemployed
”.
The discussions with Olivier Dussopt and Carole Grandjean are therefore likely to be tense.
A warning about pensions
The ministers could also come back to the explosive issue of pensions, which again arouses fierce opposition from the social partners.
On Monday morning, the secretary general of the CFDT sent a formal warning to the executive: “
if the government, within the framework of the [social security finance bill], takes a measure of abruptly, brutally, there will be very, very strong conflict [...].
We will be together to challenge a totally unfair age measure
,” he warned.
While the last major conflict on this subject dates back to the end of 2019, the strong man of the CFDT called on the executive to avoid any "
brutal measure
", seeing it as a "
casus belli
" for his union.
“
It would be seen as a blow to the world of work […].
It's not a question of age
, ”said the representative, in a tone without appeal.
