CFDTrailway will connect the FGAAC drivers

What lessons are you getting the financial crisis

This crisis is born of a totally immoral drift of capitalism. It takes its origin in a despicable exploitation of disadvantaged American households which have been holding out a model of life purchased with credits to high-risk. In plunging them to the neck, it is shocking.

Yes, but these mortgages were to enable those who were excluded from the American dream to the reach...

I have a doubt on the dream that sold them: the individual home, certainly, but the individual empowerment, work release, forgive me, I am less sure! There was nothing virtuous about this. It was not good works. It would have us believe now that it was the compassionate capitalism This is a joke. It was just immoral capitalism. In the same way, I am appalled to hear of financial capitalism and real economy as if they had nothing to do. But, finally, the opposite is true. It is the financial capitalism which has imposed its rules throughout the economy, the unrealistic returns required by the investment funds or through the individualization of social rights. This individualization has significantly reduced the scope of collective bargaining in the company. Because it suits the interests of financiers. It is that we want to question.

Financial capitalism, did not also, pouring money into the economy, sustained global growth

Never wage differentials were also important. Between 2003 and 2005, the number of working poor increased by 21. Your wealth creation, it has benefited which Not enough workers.

Do you trust to Nicolas Sarkozy to change the rules of international capitalism

At least I him recognize the merit of the action in a European context. I am pleased that there finally virtues to the euro and the European Central Bank have said that they were responsible for all our difficulties. For the rest, is step alone will change the rules, it is Europe, if it pushes its advantage and manages to agree. The questions must be asked are those of the role to assign to the IMF of the future tax havens and the presence of the State capital of rating agencies and banks. Making of permanent public participation in these institutions would allow better control. I'm not asking that the State operates, but we will when not even continue as before. To prevent that resume deviant and dishonest practices if the State does not I wish a public control in the heart of the banking system.

Do you worry a reaction of the social body

Employees feel much injustice, misunderstanding and frustration. Understanding that hundreds of billions of euros are available to save the banks when 50 billion are needed to eradicate hunger in the world and it said: "the coffers are empty" I know that these elements are not similarly nature and I agree that it should save the banks. But stop to explain that it cost nothing. Employees believe that the efforts are not really shared and that modest will pay the crisis while the Government has made many gifts to the rich, as the stimulus package. Top skin, the militants are an angry as I have rarely seen.

The mobilization of October 7 but not met a great success...

As a first step, the dissatisfaction causes of the withdrawal, but there will be anger rise in companies as and as. And that is that it promotes employees work Sunday because it would give them a seventh day to consume. But, finally, to consume what, with what money

What will this lead

The return of stick will be very strong when we see the end of the tunnel. There are greater demands on a better redistribution of the results.

Should cap the salaries of leaders

This cannot be done at the level of a single country. The problem, it is not that a pattern make money when the company works well and in fact also benefit employees. But when the company is in difficulty, the employees rap while the leader is thanked financially to go! It is this which is shocking

The code of good conduct of Medef suffice

It does not go very far. Even the Americans is more compelling. It has regulated the severance pay to employees, I do not see why it does seriously regulate those employers.

Nicolas Sarkozy will announce this week a new wave of measures on employment. What to expect

One must begin by reviewing the budget. It is not possible, in these particular circumstances, to offer employment and housing in lower budgets, and to fund these policies by punctures on the budget of the unemployment insurance, 1 housing or the Agefiph. The Government said the social partners: you have well managed your budget, so it bites you! Prime Minister calls for better support and better compensation to the unemployed, but

Remove us the necessary means. There was also a European response because the automotive crisis, for example, does not stop at borders. Can strengthen the European Fund of regulation of globalization. It contains 500 million euros, this is ridiculous. François Fillon said that "Europe is a political project, not a company", but I note that it has saved the company and abandoned the political project. After the rescue of the banks, Nicolas Sarkozy will put the same energy in a coordinated plan of recovery of the economy. It is also obliged, of course, to return to a system of social treatment of the unemployment.

What do you think of the surprise renewal of contract of professional transition

His experimentation ended. The social partners may to take in the negotiation on unemployment insurance.

The Medef reiterated its willingness to reduce the contributions...

It put things in order. A possible decline cannot be determined until the negotiations. We must first look at the evolution of unemployment and the needs of the unemployed, and then only if it remains ways, can reflect a decline in contributions.

The negotiation is not likely to give birth to a mouse in the light of the economic constraints

I hope though not. Need to change the rules for compensation for developing the number of indemnified persons and establish a system more in line with the reality of the work. The current rules are made to contract employees. They exclude the precarious and young people. We advocate a single die with a system of compensation proportional to the working time. In addition, we want that an unemployed person retains his rights when he resumes work.

CFDT-railway will connect the FGAAC drivers. Is that the signal of a large Union recomposition in companies, related to the reform of the representativeness

I've never thought to Union reconciliations by the Summit. Mergers announced at Bugle calls are less effective than the reconciliations in enterprises, between activists who are very familiar. The ongoing restructuring at the SNCF is linked to the fact that it will be one of the first to face an election since the reform. In all companies, our organizations will be listening to the other.

Left to ally with categorical unions, as with the SNCF

There are two large Union cultures in France: the confederations and professional unions. It may be interesting in the light of the context, to see if these kinds of unionism can be reconciled locally. The FGAAC has changed a lot and we realized we are in negotiations on pensions of the SNCF, last year. They were able to take into account the general interest.

The TCRC entredéchire before its Congress even put on the table of the cheques received from the UIMM. What do you think

I say and I say the way I want to know where went the UIMM money, whatever the risks to trade unions or policies. For the first time, the UIMM application to Denis Gautier-Sauvagnac speak. He speaks. For the rest, the fight in the CFTC is good for the CFTC or unions in General.

With the crisis, what will be the attitude of the CFDT in business

Our claims do not change but the way to ask them can change situation companies, regardless of whether or not they are affected by the crisis. The mode of action should be different. We're not here to put oil on the fire but to provide a service of proximity and defence of the interests of employees. I think that Nicolas Sarkozy will finally realize that the State is in need of trade unions to find solutions with employers.

Are you ready for national unity called for its wishes by François Fillon

It can only be done if efforts are fairly shared. This is not the case. The Prime Minister must suspend the tax shield that people find unfair.

The Government believes that you have an offensive speech because of election tribunals...

No, CFDT activists, in particular, very badly lived relitigation of the 35-hour. We was accused of wanting to make a leisure company. And that we see today Companies which have signed agreements do not call them into question. On the contrary, they will rely on it through the crisis and protect jobs. ArcelorMittal plans to close smelters for three weeks. Fortunately that the company has not monetized savings time accounts, we will use as a technical unemployment. We will make the defensive RTT, this will be a fundamental tool in the industry. While the tax exemption of overtime, which is progressing in full crisis, destroys jobs. This is the result of the policy of the Government!

What is your goal for the tribunals

We want to do better than the last time.

The CFDT has lost ground in enterprises for the period 2005-2006...

We observe a relief since, according to the evidence. The current climate will be the set of unions which are closer to the employees in the companies who build solutions.
