According to figures published on 1 June by the ministry for Social Affairs and Work, absenteeism strongly decreased, by 22 % between 1999 and 2004, when health and safety conditions were negotiated within the framework of collective agreements. This study goes in the same direction as the bill deposited by the government, which makes social partners responsible for negotiating health and safety rules. (Réf. 06585)
