The minister of Labour, François Rebsamen, sent to the social partners, yesterday July 29, an orientation paper that sketches options to reform social dialogue and invite them to open discussion on improving quality and efficiency of worker's representative bodies at company level.
The “orientation paper” sets the framework for the negotiation the social partners will open in September on this topic. In France, depending on the staff threshold, companies can have to manage at the same time the staff delegates (délégués du personnel), the works council, and the H&S body (CHSCT), not mentioning the union delegation. Social partners have till the end of the year to reach an agreement that will be implemented by law.
