Pensions: "The CDFT will not hold demonstrations for six months", warns Laurent Berger

2023-04-11T09:11:12.294Z


The union leader, however, believes that the episode is not over and regrets the late dialogue initiated by the executive.


Laurent Berger persists and signs.

Ignoring the reframing of the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, who had declared a few days ago that the general secretary of the CDFT was not

"in his role as a union leader when he speaks of a democratic crisis"

, he reiterated his remarks in the morning of LCI this Tuesday.

"

Yes, we are in a serious democratic crisis

," argued the trade unionist, after expressing his annoyance.

No one can assign us a role.

The CDFT is in the role that it assigns itself [...] We are not obliged to the Prime Minister.

»

The union leader maintains that the pension reform remains tainted with a “

democratic vice

”, insofar as the “

parliament did not decide on the vote

”.

If Laurent Berger assures that he will respond to the government's call to "

discuss

" the next topics on the social agenda (work, sharing of value, etc.), he regrets that the executive did not "

wish to speak before

», and that this invitation to dialogue comes «

while the episode of pensions is not over.

»

For the time being, Laurent Berger confides that he has not received "

Emmanuel Macron's invitation to go to the Élysée

", and that no permanent dialogue has been initiated with the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt.

"

We have not had contact with him for several weeks

,

probably because we are in a situation of conflict

", analyzes Laurent Berger.

The government, like the inter-union, is suspended from the decision of the Constitutional Council, which will deliver its conclusions on the pension text on Friday.

"

The Constitutional Council is legitimate

" reminded Laurent Berger.

Asked about the continuation of the movement in the event of a green light from the Constitutional Council, Laurent Berger wants to be pragmatic: “

It is clear that the CDFT will not hold demonstrations for six months on this pension reform

”, he let slip. .

"

But we will not be done with the episode of pensions

" however, warns the trade unionist.

There are other episodes, for example the implementation of the reform, on September 1.

It's going to be a real mess, because the infrastructure is not there

“Warns Laurent Berger.

In the meantime, the union leader intends to capitalize on the success of the mobilization against the pension reform.

I think that trade unionism has demonstrated its centrality in the world of work

,” he believes.

We have registered 27,000 additional CDFT members since the beginning of the year

”.

The secretary general of the first trade union in France also announced that he was writing a book devoted to work, “

a political unthought

”.

The book will be released "

in a few weeks

", according to the words of the trade unionist.

Finally, Laurent Berger intends to use his politico-social influence to block the road to the National Rally, in the perspective of the next presidential elections.

"

It's my obsession,

" he said

.

I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening, I will remain an activist against the National Front

.
