Using article 49.3 to have the pension reform adopted would be “
dangerous
” and would constitute “
a form of democratic vice
”, warns the secretary general of the CFDT Laurent Berger on Sunday March 12 in an interview with the
JDD
.
“
The debate did not take place in the National Assembly and it was accelerated in the Senate, while the latter is used to going to the end of the texts in a serene atmosphere.
In this context, adopting this reform thanks to 49.3 is impossible
”, judges the union leader.
“
To adopt via this hasty procedure a reform that is both very impactful for the lives of tens of millions of people, unfair from our point of view and badly cobbled together, would be a form of democratic vice,” he continues
.
“
That the end of the story is a 49.3 seems incredible and dangerous to me
”.
“The whole world of work rejects this reform”
Conversely, "
if the Parliament votes the text, but it is far from being done, it will be necessary to take note of it
", he recognizes, while estimating that "
whatever the case, the world of work totally rejects this reform
”.
"
The determination that is expressed in the street
", after seven days of mobilization at the call of the inter-union and before an eighth Wednesday, "
is turning into anger
", warns Laurent Berger, who reiterates the call from trade union leaders for the organization of a referendum on raising the legal retirement age to 64 years.

For him, “
the challenge of the world of work is massive, deep and lasting
”, and “
it is not because this text would be adopted that people are going to say to themselves:
“
We are moving on to the next sequence
”
.
That's what the techs advising the government believe.
And they are wrong
”.
"
If the law is adopted without taking into account the expression of the social movement, we will not find ourselves, the next morning, discussing as if nothing had happened
," he predicts.
“
I never condone violence.
Afterwards, maybe it will be an unfortunate consequence in the face of the contempt we face.
There is a very deep resentment in the world of work
,” he warns.
