The secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, said on Friday that he expected nothing from the Energy Defense Council but called for reactivating the partial unemployment schemes in particular and targeting the support measures towards the most modest.
"
From a Defense Council like this (I do not expect) much
", he launched on franceinfo about the meeting gathered Friday morning around Emmanuel Macron on the energy crisis.
“
At some point, we will have to get out of the management of a certain number of crisis situations by defense counsel
”, he also estimated.
“No generalized good proposal”
For the number one of the CFDT, "
many decisions will need to be deliberated, to be concerted, to be shared
" and "
we will need a lot of social dialogue on these issues too
".
“
I ask that the workers, the representatives of the companies be associated with the discussions.
When we are going to talk about energy sobriety in companies, we will have to talk about work organization, how employees come to work...
", he explained.
For Laurent Berger, “
there will be no general good proposal
”.
For example, “
perhaps, in some places, we will be able to mark certain particular days of teleworking
”, but not everywhere.
Faced with interruptions of activity decided by certain companies linked to the increase in energy prices, like Duralex, "
we will have to reactivate the support systems for workers, in particular in terms of partial unemployment
" taken 100% in charge, according to the leader of the trade union federation.

It will take support systems from the State, from Unedic which finances part of the partial unemployment
”, and the taking into account of “
the whole sector, including subcontractors
”, he said. it detailed.
More broadly, the number one of the CFDT considered
energy sobriety to be "
a good thing " but insisted on "
fair sobriety
".
On the tariff shield or the rebate on fuel, "
we have to get out of generalized measures
" to move on to "
targeted measures
" on the "
poorest households
", on the "
more than 12 million people in of energy poverty
” who suffer “
much greater impact
" from rising energy prices, he said.
