"Any better than inactivity": it is by relying on its traditional voluntarist accents and the need to be "pragmatic" that Nicolas Sarkozy launched yesterday at Rethel in the Ardennes, its plan of "mobilization for employment", third stage of its response to the crisis. Recalling that the reforms already undertaken (conventional failure, RSA, modulation of working time, etc.) allow the France to be "better armed" to withstand the crisis, he said the need to "go even further" to "create professional social security", a mantra which constituted the Red wire of its intervention.
"We have a duty: give everyone the confidence that it can build, maintain and improve their employability.". Left to respond to the social emergency that now is the rise of the social plans, and at the same time, the anger of the employees to return to its traditional line political and economic.

Redeployment of appropriations
"It is not entitled, on human misery, to ideology", argue thus to justify the creation of 100,000 new contracts helped, or even more "if necessary", in the non-merchant sector next year. Once object of his taunts, these contracts are here characterized as "useful sas between unemployment and employment". To "provide immediate and practical solutions to difficult situations which will arise", Nicolas Sarkozy made also on the extension of the contract of professional transition (CTP) "most affected" areas by the crisis. This return to a social treatment of the unemployment will limit the impact of the economic slowdown on employment and its cost estimated by Bercy, assisted contracts, EUR 250 million will be financed by "redeployment of appropriations implemented precautionary reserve", no impact on the budget deficit. "It's expensive, but less than having people unemployed;" "it's an investment," Nicolas Sarkozy justified.
The head of State also declared the pandemonium of combat in the public service of employment requiring, once more, the acceleration of the implementation of fusion ANPE-Assedic, to lead to the spread of the shops and the individual follow-up of the unemployed as early as mid-2009. A calendar of ambitious, if not unrealistic.
In an appeal to the "mobilization of everyone", the head of State also accentuate the already strong pressure on the social partners. The ongoing negotiations on unemployment insurance, the management of jobs and training will have to lead, "before the end of the year", "ambitious decisions" to the public the most distressed (precarious, young, employees of SMEs). Fault what the State will decide himself, warned.
The use of the CSD without limit
This growing interventionism is accompanied by an appeal to further deregulation of the labour law. Nicolas Sarkozy and argued more strongly than ever, to work on Sunday, and asked parliamentarians to consider "now" legislation already ready. Most importantly, it opened the door for a relaxation of the use of the contract term (CSD). "During the slowdown, a more CSD, is an unemployed less", he justified. The Elysee will consult the social partners but does not hide its intention to temporarily allow, a priori for all 2009 employers to resort to the CSD without limit (read here).
A perspective lauded by Medef, which welcomes the willingness to "lift the taboos to boost the economy", but rejected by the unions, who enjoy little nor to dictate the tempo and the objectives on the ongoing negotiations.
"The development of the precariousness is contradictory with the securing of the routes that purports to promote the President," said CFDT, for which the plan presented yesterday "is not the height. "Nicolas Sarkozy clearly did not the extent of the social emergency", agree with the CGT, which regretted that "the improvements announced in matters of compensation of unemployment and access to training are limited and not financed".
