Fear of new social plansIt is a big question

After the unemployed, young people. This morning at Bercy, the Secretary of State for employment Laurent Wauquiez, and the High Commissioner for youth, Martin Hirsch, meet all the economic and social actors concerned by the use of less than 25 years. The morning will be busy to mobilize troops and there is need. The first results of the plan for the employment of young people are quite scarce. Appointed by the Government of a mission to the contracts in alternation, Delegate General of the UIMM, Jean-François Pilliard, is however reasonably optimistic. More generally, he probably is "on an end of the recession but certainly not in crisis". He is concerned that the unemployment rate reached 11 in 2010.

What first review get you plan for the employment of young people launched in April

I welcome the consensus on the fact that the formations alternating a great lever for the employment of young people. I also was appointed by Laurent Wauquiez and Martin Hirsch to assist in the development of the contrats of professionalization. Several branches will take this morning of commitments encrypted on learning and professionalizing for 2009-2010 contracts: metallurgy, trade and distribution, cleanliness, public works, the banks and the acting. Others will follow soon. Our industry will have to train and recruit young 40,000 per year in the next ten years.

The failure on the contracts in alternation found in early summer is not confirm

The final results of the 2009-2010 campaign will not be known before December. Today's date, the balance seems less worrying than expected. In metallurgy, it was feared a drop of 40 to 50 learning, should achieve in fine the same level as last year. On professional contracts, we are still between-30 and -40. Need to know more about the device. The State has already done much for the employment of young people, cannot ask more.

Again positive growth in the second quarter, do you have the feeling that the crisis is over

We are probably on an end of the recession but certainly not at the end of crisis. Among our members, nuclear and rail spend well the crisis and the automakers know a rebound at the end of Destocking and recovery measures. But aeronautics at upswing.4 could hear challenges in 2010 and 2011, and the sector of capital equipment, related to investment, suffers greatly. In General, the situation of the undertakings is still characterized by a lack of visibility, a weakening of their own funds and a tense cash.

Fear of new social plans

It is a big question. After the improvement we observe currently, we run the risk of return to low growth in 2010, with an impact on employment because companies had to make efforts on prices and margins. The OECD in its latest forecast evokes an unemployment rate of 11.

The social measures to cushion the crisis must be extended

From the crises of 1993 and 2000, the companies have all made until now to preserve employment. But need to find a balance between crisis management and the post-crisis, and not install in a social system that is contre-productif at the time of the recovery. Example: partial unemployment which guarantees today more than 90 of the net salary. Socially, it is perfectly defensible but this can become burdensome and need out gradually. And once the storm passed, it will be necessary that put us a table with unions to reduce structural unemployment. It must reflect on what must be to allow businesses to be more reactive and reduce their legal hazards while securing career paths for employees. The idea would be to reconcile a decrease in poverty with greater flexibility for the employer. The UIMM is on the subject on the same wavelength as the Medef. We also believe that there are too many different working contracts and would unify them.

Will the UIMM make proposals for the great loan

There is some good news, including the idea that the economy must rely on a strong industry in crisis. On the large loan, it is the grouping of the industrial federations leading thinking; We will be facing is that of selectivity. The GFI led work on what could be an industrial policy for the France. The branches of chemistry and metallurgy have decided to work with their trade unions to look at the points of convergence and to identify the levers of success. It cannot move forward on social policies if there is not a stronger sharing of economic and industrial issues.

Must the return to grace of industry find a translation in the election at the head of the Medef next year

There is a debate within the governance of the UIMM. We will be very attentive to several points: the vision of the role of the interprofessional organization, the proper place in the industry and the quality of governance.

Are you willing to debate on the representativeness of employers

This question should be treated, a term that is not too remote. It is healthy that employers discussed, firstly because he was asked to organizations representing employees in resolving this issue. On the other hand, I am in favour of a proactive approach, because otherwise, we will go to litigation with employers, and this will be the courts or the law which will decide for us.
