There will be a new inter-trade union meeting in September. The contacts have not yet taken - this is the GSC who must take care next week-, but this is only a matter of days, provides one of several trade union sources. None should be false bond, each being well aware that one will break the unit, even façade, would be sanctioned by employees. The outcome is, however, be acquired, in a context marked by an increasing of the rivalries of the fact of the reform of the representativeness and a risk of intrusion of the policy in the Union debates related to the crisis of the left.
Launched earlier this year, mobilization against the social policy of the Government had a peak on March 19, where between 1.2 million protestors (according to the police) and 3 million protestors (according to the trade unions) had paraded in the France to the call of the eight French national trade unions. But the influx had then fallen to Saturday 13 June, the CGT, CFDT, FO, CFTC, the GSC, the FSU, the Unsa and had failed to seduce between 71.000 demonstrators, according to police, and 150,000 demonstrators, according to the unions.
Uncertainty dominates
So that those who promote repeat a new mobilization will be marginalized, except to cling to the day of the International Trade Union Confederation, on 7 October. The method of the days "leap-frogging", i.e. spaced succeeded against the CPE in 2005. She has shown this time above its limits, consider most of the trade union organizations. But there is no consensus on the modes of action to replace it, while uncertainty dominates the character deleterious or vindictive of the social climate at school.
Force ouvrière, historically hostile unit initiatives, Executive Board will again address the issue on 3 September. It ceased to argue so far to move up a gear. In an interview with the "Figaro", this morning, Jean-Claude Mailly expects 800,000 additional unemployed in 2009 and shows that his Union is favourable for "a square 24 hour strike".He knows that it is not likely to win but thus maintains the image of a protest Confederation without great risk of the show. And it surely tastes in passing the pleasure to give the grain grinding camp - very minority, but very virulent four months of the Congress of the CGT - opponents of the extreme left to Bernard Thibault. A camp steward of Continental was the speaker a few days ago, not hesitating to Bernard Thibault of "scum", paraphrasing Nicolas Sarkozy.
With the CFDT, it argues to try again to strengthen claims to defend, while the June meeting but failed on this point. In the same register, the CFTC would see much effort to focus on the issue of employment. The next negotiating sessions, including the follow-up to the July meeting on emergency employment measures, will have value of test. But, in any event, the Government has not intention of letting labour unions. The first movement of Nicolas Sarkozy, on 3 September, theme is employment.
