Managers of cafes, restaurants, hotels and nightclubs in the Montluçonnaise region, members of the Umih (Union of trades and hospitality industries), met for the first time since successive confinements, Monday, October 18 evening, to address their current issues. All of them noted a lack of personnel and pointed to difficulties in recruiting.
“With the confinements, employees have left the profession. Working on staggered schedules, evenings and weekends are difficulties in attracting new candidates. “
Jean-Pierre Bujard (President of Umih in the district of Montluçon)

The representative of Umih also pointed out the ban on minors working on Sundays and beyond certain hours on other evenings. He also returned to the training conditions for young people.
“We cannot afford to hire young apprentices. Under-16s must finish at 8 p.m., 16-18-year-olds at 10 p.m. We prevent them in their desire to do our jobs. It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they are forbidden. It’s the same problem with hotel school interns. However, the real training is learning, ”he asserts in the direction of Jean-Marc Giraud, the sub-prefect of Montluçon present.
The state representative replied that he was “just applying the law” and suggested that the union question local parliamentarians on the subject.

The question of remuneration
To attract staff, everyone has thought about increasing salaries, but they say they do not have enough leeway out of the health crisis.
This is also one of the proposals formulated at the national level by the Umih (6 to 9% increase and a thirteenth month) which, in return, calls for compensatory aid.
Locally, the union says it wants to “give back all its meaning to the value of work” and to study the best ways to achieve it.
Many uncertainties
in the “management of the future”
The CHRD sector (cafes, hotels, restaurants and nightclubs) in the Montluçon region foresees the future without state aid.
Jean-Pierre Bujard thus wondered about the tax exemption of the solidarity fund and partial unemployment in the 2021 balance sheet of companies. He believes that a gray area exists on this subject and that reversals of the situation are possible.
“The laws change regularly, so it is normal to question yourself. “

The solidarity fund should be exempt, unlike partial unemployment.
Two employees of EDF, a partner of Umih, spoke of the rise in the cost of energy and the means of advice they provide to reduce the bill. They took the opportunity to signal the application of the tertiary decree in 2022, forcing companies to implement actions to reduce energy consumption.
