00:00 It is difficult to know who to listen to.

00:02 Faced with a Minister of Economy multiplying the frantic speeches on the subject of work,

00:07 and a head of the most-measured post,

00:09 trade unions seem to be in a two-weight, two-measure situation.

00:14 For several months, Bruno Le Maire has been repeating that it is necessary to reduce the duration of compensation for job seekers,

00:20 arguing that structural reforms are necessary to reach full employment.

00:24 He has also recently pleaded for a final resumption by the State of Unemployment Insurance,

00:29 currently piloted by social partners via Unédic.

00:33 These are words that come after controversial reforms in unemployment insurance in 2019 and 2023,

00:39 and which have aroused strong trade union protests.

00:42 On his side, the Minister of Labour Catherine Vautrin is on edge and insists that social dialogue should take place in Grenelle.

00:49 Bruno Le Maire has been here for seven years, I have been here for two months,

00:53 and has made this exceller worthwhile,

00:54 who has been at the head of a super-ministerial body with health and solidarity since January but seems less audible.

01:00 If she has delegated ministers since early February,

01:03 notably to Health, Frédérique Valtout, she does not let go of her various caps.

01:08 These multiple moves on the subject of health are evidenced more so than on the issues related to work,

01:14 where she is alone on board.

01:15 What makes social partners perplexed,

01:19 who are currently negotiating on the employment of seniors with a blanket on unemployment compensation?

01:24 We have a Minister of Labour, officially,

01:26 thus ironies Denis Gravouille for the CGT.

01:28 In the press, the minister assures that on unemployment insurance,

01:33 "everything will be done in consultation, in social dialogue", he says to AFP.

01:37 But ten days later there is the Deputy Prime Minister,

01:40 Minister of Economy who announces that according to his personal opinion,

01:43 the government should take over unemployment insurance.

01:46 So, either he speaks to the government before announcing anything,

01:50 or he has taken decisions that are completely based on what the Minister of Labour says.

01:55 For Ivan Ricordo, CFDT, for the moment at the Executive, we have two rooms, two atmospheres.

02:01 "We are used to having 'Bercy' trends which are not the 'Ministry of Labour' trends", he says.

02:07 But traditionally, there are regular and morning arbitrations

02:11 that make it known where the cursor has been placed.

02:13 No more ministries.

02:16 If Cyril Chabanier, CFTC, recognizes Catherine Vautrin

02:20 for being really attached to social dialogue and for being low cash,

02:23 he also points to a problem,

02:25 it must be explained to Bruno Le Maire that he is not Prime Minister of Economy.

02:28 "When you discuss with Catherine Vautrin,

02:31 it's pretty much the opposite of what you said or what you read about the Minister of Economy", he says,

02:35 assuring to have never seen two ministries so publicly opposed.

02:39 Who will win in the end?

02:41 I don't know, but you have to listen to who.

02:44 "We are completely lost", says the union manager.

02:47 He also thinks that the morning arbitration is not clear

02:51 and says that the Elysee is more on Le Maire's side.

02:54 The boss of the CFCGC, François Omrile,

02:58 does not go by four ways, obviously,

03:01 there are no more Ministries of Labour, Emmanuel Macron has deleted them.
