The delicate reform of unemployment insurance has been postponed again, the Prime Minister announced on Monday morning at a social summit with the social partners. Already postponed to January 1, 2021, it will enter into force on April 1, 2021 at the earliest.
The delicate reform of unemployment insurance is once again postponed. The Prime Minister, Jean Castex, announced this Monday morning, at the end of a social summit with the social partners in Matignon, that in view of the Covid health crisis, its application was postponed for three additional months, therefore until April 1, 2021.
While the unions demand the abandonment of the reform, the head of government reiterated that he “does not hear [y] renounce “. He also described this reform as “major” and said he wanted to complete “all the other reforms aimed at transforming, modernizing our country, making it stronger and fairer”, while stressing that “More than ever, dialogue and consultation are essential”.
#Assurancechomage: by postponing the reform for 3 months, the government is giving itself a break knowing that it will have to partially empty it if it maintains it

Conceived at a time of declining unemployment and recruitment difficulties, the reform of unemployment insurance, which the executive had agreed in July to suspend until January 1, 2021, notably provides for a tightening of compensation, accused not to be enough of an incentive to resume employment, and a sectoral “bonus-malus” to penalize companies that abuse short contracts.
” For us [cette réforme] is punitive “, notably affirmed François Hommeril (CFE-CGC) at the exit of the social summit, while Cyril Chabanier (CFTC) judged the postponement” completely unsuitable “, considering that” this reform must be canceled “. “This reform little by little, we are demonstrating that it is not at all adapted to the period”, added Laurent Berger (CFDT).
