Emmanuel Macron wants “labour reform” “from this summer”

During his interview on July 14, the President of the Republic stressed the need to reform unemployment insurance, apprenticeships, and vocational high schools.

Making it possible to respond to the shortage of personnel in many sectors will be one of the government’s priorities at the start of the school year, underlined Emmanuel Macron during his television interview on July 14.

The President of the Republic has indicated that he wants a text of law at the return of the summer.

“As of this summer, there will have to be a text of law, after discussion with the social partners”, said Emmanuel Macron, who mentioned the “reform of the RSA”, a “reform of France Travail”, but also that vocational high school and “lifelong” training.

“Look at the situation in which we are today… Not a place in France where we do not find employers who are looking…”, regrets the Head of State”. And to add: “we need a mobilization of the Nation to move forward, the heart of the battle that I want to lead is full employment”.

“We can go to 5%” unemployment at the end of the five-year term, assured the head of state, who recalled that under his first five-year term, unemployment had already been reduced to 7%. “The heart of the battle is full employment,” he hammered.

The Head of State also appeals to the responsibility of job seekers or those who no longer wish to work in sectors in tension such as catering.

“If the answer is ‘I will benefit from national solidarity to reflect on my life’, I find it difficult to hear it, because this national solidarity is those who work who pay for it and a Nation c “It’s a whole, specifies the head of state. There is no social model if there is no work to finance it”.

As for the beneficiaries of the RSA, “we must support them better” to “get their foot back in the stirrup”, declared Emmanuel Macron, confirming that it would be a “contract where everyone plays their part, this n is not simply paying a benefit”.
