The Socialist candidate for the Elysee "

plays the watch and clearly thinks that the presidential calendar will allow her to postpone a necessary social dialogue

The law of August 6, 2019 put an end to the derogatory situations made possible by a decree of 2001 and imposes 35 weekly hours on public officials from January 1, 2022. At the end of October, the summary judge of the Paris administrative court ruled in favor. to the State on working time arrangements for City staff, assessed by the Court of Auditors at 1,552 hours per year instead of the 1,607 required by law.

A judgment on the merits is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

It is "

the only municipality which sent us a letter to explain that court or not, they would not change anything

", again lamented the Minister of Transformation and Public Service.

We cannot sit on a court decision.

No one was taken by surprise.

There is a principle of fairness.

The 35 hours apply in the private sector, they are intended to also apply in the public service,

”she insisted.

A "

gross manipulation

"

Antoine Guillou, Anne Hidalgo's assistant in charge of human resources, reacted on Twitter by denouncing a "

gross manipulation

" of the minister. "

In no case does the City of Paris

"

sit

"

on a court decision, which has not yet been pronounced on the merits,

" wrote the deputy, stressing that "

only a provision relating to 3 days off is contested

”by the administrative court.

Amélie de Montchalin argued that the socialist mayor of Montpellier, Michaël Delafosse, “

a friend of Anne Hidalgo, will enforce the 35 hours and increase its agents in 2022. There is no opposition

”.

According to the minister, who is based on a recent report drawn up by the prefects, about half of the communities already apply the 35 hours and three quarters of the rest are actively preparing for it.

Besides Paris, some cases "

concern

" however still Amélie de Montchalin, who cited Strasbourg, Besançon, La Rochelle, Clermont-Ferrand, as well as certain "

green town halls

".
