Things settle a bit, the first social service that the government should take. The decree establishing the terms of a partial return to retire at age 60 for employees "who started work at 18 or 19 years and have contributed for 41 years" will be released "late June, early July at the latest," said Marisol Touraine, the Minister of Social Affairs and Health. "It is a priority measure of justice", she insisted on the eve of the opening of the consultation with social partners asked him to run Jean-Marc Ayrault on the subject.

The Prime Minister on his part said that there would be some leeway on how to start part 60. For now, only employees who actually contributed 41 years are concerned. Those who reach this time thanks to bonuses under the military service, unemployment, maternity or sick leave are not. Well, not yet

.

Because before the growing discontent of the unions that put pressure to expand the scope of beneficiaries, Marisol Touraine has already begun to make concessions. "The maternity leave or military service will count," has for the first time recognized the minister, who has nevertheless remained somewhat fuzzy on the periods of illness and unemployment – it is precisely the subject of discussions with social partners – may be "embedded within certain limits." The Minister has merely to recall the target year of the return to retirement at age 60 (150,000 beneficiaries) and cost (one billion). "I will make a trade based on financial constraints", for his part nuanced Jean-Marc Ayrault faxless payday advance. In short, nothing is locked and discussions within the government have not started.

SMIC: no fork

Same uncertainty about the level of boost to the minimum wage before the summer that Francois Hollande said. Jean-Marc Ayrault has even refused yesterday to give a range. "The same rule applies in this matter as on others, dialogue and respect for partners, justified the Prime Minister. We spent five years with a president who decided everything, and it worked poorly. "Do not bother to repeat past mistakes, even if the decree should be published quickly increase, in any event before the conference Social in July.

"The Prime Minister has no incentive to plant on these two decrees augurera as this evil if his vision of social dialogue," warns Pascale Cotton, the general secretary of the CFTC. Number 2 of the central Christian "refuses any escalation of the minimum wage" and recalls that "supplementary pension funds do not have the means to finance a partial return too much to retire at 60".

These points, in opposition to the demands of the CGT and FO, are at the heart of consultations that began Michel Sapin tag. Labour Minister called on Wednesday night at union leaders to discuss these topics. Making contact before entering the hard

Settlement period for theft

After stealing a vehicle, the insured must receive a settlement offer from the insurer within 30 days. The amount of compensation is the estimated value of the vehicle during flight. If, after this period of 30 days, the vehicle is recovered, the insured can choose between:

The debt crisis in Europe continues to impose experiencing this ritual to Angela Merkel and her center-right coalition. As in the previous six votes, in which MPs have urged the German solidarity towards the euro area, the approval by the Bundestag of the second bailout Greek turned yesterday at Calvary for the Chancellor, threatening its majority an existential crisis. Monday, she called politicians to approve the plan of 130 billion euros, for which the German contribution will be $ 35 billion, saying any other way "irresponsible" as the risks of bankruptcy of Greece are "incalculable ". However, Merkel has obtained the ratification of the Bundestag that through the voice of the opposition, throwing his government in limbo.

"The risks of turning away from Greece are incalculable, Merkel warned before the elected lower house of Parliament. Nobody can anticipate the consequences of the German economy, on Italy, on Spain, on the whole euro area and for the world "would have a bankruptcy of Greece. "I can not throw myself into the adventure, my oath forbade me," she said. Before insisting once again on the dramatic challenge: "If the euro fails, Europe is lost. If the euro wins, Europe wins. "

The Bavarian conservatives had turned up the heat in recent days by calling to stop pouring money into "a bottomless pit." Many elected Merkel of the CDU feel that Greece is a "lost cause". Result: The Chancellor received only 304 votes out of 311 needed to gather his own majority. The humiliation is even larger than the text was adopted by an overwhelming majority of 496 deputies, with the votes of the opposition instant payday loan. Some elected opposition will surely call early elections. For doubt now weighs on the viability of the Merkel government by the next legislative elections in 2013.

Soothe the discontent

The conservative chancellor acknowledged that "the path that opens before Greece is long and certainly not without risk." "This also applies to the success of the new program, no one can give guarantee 100% success," she added. His finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble warned MPs in a letter last week that it was probably not the last time they had to look at the Greek case. "The Bundestag will vote a third package for Greece," predicted Steinbrück for his part, is the opposition Social Democrats, during the parliamentary debate.

The financial and economic crisis in full swing throughout the world, with its procession of bankruptcies, plant closures and layoffs? But lo and behold, it does not stress CEOs unduly: this is certainly the result of a study conducted by the audit firm and consultancy, Grant Thornton, with 6000 companies worldwide .

According to figures from the International Business Report, the rate of business leaders saying be stressed has never been so low for seven years at the global level, 28% (it reached 45% in 2010). The phenomenon is identical to the European level, with a stress level in company from 40% in 2010 to 22% in 2011.

Another lesson for the least surprising, who would have thought that France is part of the least stressed in the world: this is a reality, says Grant Thornton. It is indeed in France found the rate of the lowest stress patterns, with 29% against 34% at EU level.

For Jean-Jacques Pichon, partner at Grant Thornton, "these figures are encouraging but the stress level within companies is still high. However, satisfaction and well-being of employees are important data for growing businesses, "says he.

The Southeast Asia is the region of the globe where we find the highest proportion of employers stressed (44%), however, a figure lower than in 2010 (58%). And large countries, the study highlights a perfect correlation between the worsening economic crisis and soaring job stress, "the three European countries have undergone the recession and the biggest increase in stress level in 2011 are Greece (67%), Spain (37%) and Italy (32%), "she says No teletrak payday loan. In contrast, only 5% of Danes and 8% of Finns said they had been stressed during the year.

Need a holiday

The causes of stress are varied but the primary concern of business leaders is "to achieve the performance goals." Then come the workload, the internal politics of the company and the balance of work life / personal life.

To evacuate "the evil of the XXI century", which still costs € 20 billion for European companies, the International Business Report recommends several remedies: play sport regularly, delegating tasks, better organize the teams, keep pace regular work … and take more vacations!

Countries with rates lower the stress are those in which firms make the most of holidays. This is the case of France, but also Denmark, the Netherlands and Russia. "Obviously, with employees who feel rested, better about themselves, who can control their stress and make decisions with a clear vision, performance for the company is considerable," says Jean-Jacques Pichon.

Deezer is seeking to raise between 50 and 100 million euros, showed Les Echos. The site for listening to music online is doing the rounds of investment funds to continue financing its ambitious international expansion strategy.

Orange, who had taken 11% stake in Deezer in August 2010, should not call the pot. For the telecom operator, the integration of a range of music in its subscriptions is essentially a "marketing advantage", says a close case.

Deezer, however, sees its financing needs explode as it launches in new countries or new terminals. Each time, the service must make further advances to the music majors, who often index their demands on the size of their partner.

This is also why the Swedish Spotify, Deezer competitor in France, seemed to leave in search of money, in the last Midem, just a year after raising $ 100 million on a valuation of $ 1 billion.

Valuing Deezer should not reach such heights. According to Les Echos, the site expects a value of 500 million euros, "ten times its 2011 revenues." The latter is however mostly generated by subscriptions of Orange, who had entered the capital on a valuation of Deezer … 80 million euros.

China, U.S., Brazil, Japan … For two days in Cannes, the speech was unanimous: "Saving the euro to save us from ourselves." On the way to do this, however, and on the money to gamble, there are still far from the cup and the lip.

Twisted smile politely explaining the Japanese representative "wait for clarification techniques on European political situation," sharp statement of the President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, which "does not intend to contribute directly to the European financial stability while European refrain "… As summarized brutally German Chancellor Angela Merkel," there is hardly anyone in the G20 to invest in the European financial stability "-the EFSF, which is used to avoid spread of the debt crisis to other countries, after Greece.

After a G20 parasitized by this crisis of European sovereign debt, the French presidency has nevertheless saved the point. The twenty richest countries have agreed to "boost growth, create jobs and ensure financial stability." An important phrase in the context of global economic slowdown the temptation of protectionism and isolationism is very strong. But unlike the summits in London and Pittsburg, in 2008 and 2009, no figures dramatically to install confidence and restart the machine. Fiscal imbalances of the major developed countries prevent it.

"A successful but more work"

Paris has nonetheless achieved significant progress in convincing every country to take action at his level to stimulate its economy.

The draft budget for 2012 Social Security will be voted on Wednesday by the House, before leaving the Senate. But a detailed examination of the text was to end Friday night. The Assembly amended several key points … until they know the consequences of the revision to 1% of projected growth. Lack of knowledge, "the dice are loaded," protested the Socialist Marisol Touraine. The rapporteur of the text, Yves Bur (UMP), was estimated at 1.5 billion shortfall, the government does not confirm.

Half a solution for excess fees

MEPs adopted an amendment to try to remedy the excess fees excessive. They left until the end of January to physicians, the social security and complementary health for themselves conclude this endless soap opera.

These doctors are the "fall guy," said Yves Bur UMP. Xavier Bertrand has promised, without further detail, to consider their case, "that they are not satisfied with a handshake." The Minister of Health has recognized, with several members of the left and right, that the real problem was the insufficient appreciation rates Safely surgeons for years low fee cash advance. But open the sector a future system would have displeased the French Mutuality and part of the majority. The Bloc, the majority among specialists involved, says it is ready to discuss, exchange, regulation of excess fees in sector 2.

Abandonment of the CSG on parental leave

The idea was unanimously against it: the government has decided not to submit to a CSG 6.2% of compensation paid in case of parental leave.And are defrauded to the detriment of social organizations will be excluded from debt cancellation plans in case of insolvency.

Cooling-off period on sick leave benefits

The government had reduced by 6% allowances of sick leave, saving 220 million. Outcry, including the right, Yves Bur proposed an alternative: a fourth day waiting period before paying those benefits. It would cost to low-wage "twenty euros, once a stop, instead of 30 or 40 euros a month," he said. People in long illness would be less penalized, unlike those that increase stops short. Xavier Bertrand has promised to think about before the final vote of the text.

The CGT said it was "scandalous" the vote Wednesday night in committee in the Assembly, a provision to relax the modulation of working in a company … following an agreement with the unions. "An employer may require the employee to work 48 hours one week and 10 hours the following week without it being able to challenge" the critical and central Montreuil.

The Ministry of Labour – that supports this section of the bill of UMP Jean-Luc Warsmann on the simplification of the law – has meanwhile another interpretation. "A decision of the Supreme Court provided that a modulation of working time resulting from an agreement with the unions needed to be implemented, the authorization of each employee, reported a near Xavier Bertrand.With this arrangement, such a collective agreement shall not affect the employment contract and may be applied without risk of blocking. "

At the CFDT, the bell sound is different. If the union does not have a problem on the philosophy of the article, it criticizes the wording and lack of precision. "The fact that a collective agreement on the organization of work does not change the contract of employment is rather in the right direction because it legitimizes the agreements with the unions, says Marcel Grignard, the Secretary-General fast payday loan no faxing. Would have had the law specifies the amplitude modulation acceptable.Acter even by collective agreement, a passage of 35 hours to 38 hours a week on the other has a different impact on the lives of employees that decide to make them work at night or the weekend. "

Night work is not affected

Argument dismissed out of hand by the government for that night work or Sunday is the subject of specific provisions in the Labour Code and is therefore outside the scope of the law Warsmann.

For the CFDT, the problem of this law to be voted on first reading Tuesday by deputies, is elsewhere. "It's a catch-all text contains hundreds of articles, and unions have been consulted on those relating to labor law, while many others have an impact on the lives of the employees' discontent Marcel Grignard.The parliamentarians have in fact since 2009 the requirement to seek their views on unions before any bill affecting only the Labour Code. But not on other areas of law.
