Several unions, including the CGT and Force Ouvrière, have announced that they will not go to the National Council for Refoundation (CNR) convened Thursday by Emmanuel Macron.
The CGT announced on Tuesday that it would not go to the National Council for Refoundation (CNR), convened by the Head of State on Thursday, thus joining two other representative unions (Force Ouvrière and CFE-CGC), as well as Solidaires .
A year following its launch, Emmanuel Macron brings together the CNR to “set a course” for the continuation of the work of this body. This CNR, launched to “build consensus”, is divided into several themes (“aging well”, “climate and biodiversity”, housing, youth, work, etc.), around which political forces, social partners, representatives of companies and associations. But the first two meetings were largely shunned by the opposition parties and the same unions which will not be present on Thursday.
“A CNR for what?” Asks AFP Sophie Binet, secretary general of the CGT, “when at the same time, the Prime Minister announces that she will continue to use 49.3 and that the president of the Republic refuses to organize a referendum on pensions”.
“Rude grabbing”
In a press release sent on Friday, FO castigated a body which leads to “dilute” the word of the unions and “weakens the role of social actors”. “For FO, there is only one CNR, from the Resistance at the end of the Second World War”, recalled the organization. The CFE-CGC also continues to decline the invitation, denouncing “a showcase operation, of communication with the crude grabbing of the acronym of the National Council of Resistance”, declared to AFP its president François Hommeril.
“Solidaires has no time to waste seeing Macron at the Élysée”, added the organization’s delegate, Simon Duteil. “The CNR is communication! It’s agitation!”, Denounces the trade unionist who expects “strong acts on ecological and social issues”.
Conversely, the CFDT, the CFTC and the Unsa will be present Thursday at the Elysée.
The inter-union, which led the battle once morest the pension reform, called for a new day of mobilization on October 13 to demand, in particular, the increase in wages in a context of high inflation. While waiting for this new appointment, she is awaiting details on a “social conference” announced last week by the Head of State, during his meeting with the party leaders.
