Yesterday the Medef has said open Is the money to put in it

It will be today or nothing. The President of the Republic had required that they conclude before the end of 2008. The social partners have made 15 days more to complete their negotiations on vocational training. They now have the duty to lead to the risk, otherwise, of imposing a unilateral act. At its wishes, December 31, Nicolas Sarkozy has made reform one of the major sites of 2009.

The discussion focuses primarily on the concern of employers and trade unions to maintain their pre square to the State. But the project agreement, which reasoning to constant budget, includes also training innovations continue, even if they are not also striking that the invention of the individual right to training (DIF) in 2003, which was accompanied by an additional contribution of companies. Inventory of the major changes.

Joint fund for securing of career paths

The novelty is the most prominent in the negotiations. And for good reason: the Executive is very attentive to the edges of the joint fund for securing of career paths, which should replace the funds currently redistributing surplus of recognised collector paritarian organisations (Opca). A device which the principle is enshrined in the agreement on the modernisation of the January 2008 labour market. The issue is financial. The budget of funds will determine the effort that are ready to make the social partners to the public currently with little access to continuing training or troubled employees employees of SMEs - TPE, low-skilled unemployed.

The latest management proposal evokes 300 to 800 million euros. Insufficient for the Government ("Les Echos" from December 23, 2008). Yesterday, the Medef has said open: "Is the money to put in it."

The financing of deferred initial teaching himself returned to the State with which would be open "consultation".
