meet up
In recent years, successive federal coalitions have undertaken reforms in the employment sector. The Arizona government is no exception and has announced, in its general policy statement, its intention to review the functioning of the labor market to revitalize it. This was, in fact, one of the main objectives of the federal majority.
One of the aims, according to the De Wever government, is to make work more attractive by increasing, up to 500 euros, the difference between labor income and unemployment benefits. The objective is to achieve a 80% employment rate by the end of the legislature.
To this end, the new majority has taken various measures: limiting unemployment benefits to two years, adapting the calculation of automatic wage indexation, removing the ban on Sunday work, changing regulations for night and holiday work, etc. Thus, the night would no longer start at 8:00 pm but at midnight. Negotiators specify: "without loss of purchasing power for workers".
But what kind of "work" are we actually talking about? Between the hunt for "inactive people" and attacks on working conditions, what place is left to promote work as a source of individual and collective emancipation?
Unemployment reform, globalization, robotization, precarious contracts, flexy jobs... The labor market is evolving and trying to reinvent itself, but what will work look like tomorrow?
To introduce the topic and answer these questions, a researcher and trainer at Cepag will be our guest.
