CNE and CPE mark a new stage of deterioration

The loss of labour and employers was listed first in the original goals of the trade union organizations of workers. The evocation of this endangered held the rhetoric during the greater part of the last century, which saw labour fade independent forms of handicraft and agricultural employment. The movement was supported in the dynamics of the industry, sweet of all arms During the second half of the 20th century, the agricultural labour force increased from 30 of the assets to about 3, or 300 jobs deleted each day!

Structural Gigantism helping, everyone has little or less found its place in the new organization of productive activity. Distribution of posts, bearable for individuals, occurred on a wide range of qualifications, with a place to each according to its capacities. It appeared that labour offered each a position unique, and indeed without any alternative, to earn a living with dignity. The contract of employment reached a height with contractors in each account in the relationship, so that the notion of subordination appeared almost evanescent. This situation has made the standard employment contract.

In sounding the end of the thirty Glorieuses, the oil crisis permanently altered the balance at the expense of labour. Indeed, with mass unemployment, the ratio of forces has become unfavourable to employees, notwithstanding the shock absorbers of unemployment insurance and the Union defence. It was then that the consubstantial subordination to the contract took its real dimension, unequal, between the contracting parties. It rediscovers that can be said of the contract of employment that Churchill said of democracy: "the worst system except all the others."

For thirty years, many crafts have experienced. CNE and CPE mark a new stage of deterioration. Therefore, instead of constantly tinkering, better would found that the contract of work worthy of the name, i.e. the dignity and decency who occupies it, is more the universal character of the apogee of labour time. Those who would consider this perspective as iconoclast, suffice it to say that massive labour has little more than a half century of existence in a human experience several times Millennium.

Moreover, during the last half-century of the apogee of salaried employment, all was not rosy for amount of employees, even if all was "generally positive". Many injustices and suffering have dotted the lives of workers. Today, the choice of a growing number of workers to turn their backs to the labor, independent status reflects a real rétivité. Added the repulsion of youth to labour as a result of surveys and investigations, which concluded that the motivation of the employees. Those who take the subway do not need this work to know that its users seem to be more towards the slaughterhouse to the paradise!

In addition, work changes of nature. He asked less and less physical power and more ability to "neuron". It deploys to the optimum provided they have the ability to make and the comfort of the environment. In this context, the perceived subordination results in an alteration of proportional to its intensity productivity. In addition, the concern of our contemporaries encourages everyone to not cede to the collective that what he did there can and wants to avoid.

Finally, growth does more to reduce unemployment, as noted by the international labour office in its last report. The 15-24 years, which are less than one-fourth of assets, make up nearly half of the unemployed. For the Director General of the ILO, Juan Somavia, "we are facing a global crisis of employment to the colossal dimensions and a deficit of work which will not disappear by itself." "We need policies and new practices to deal with these problems".

The ILO also explains that "If the services sector continues to grow at the same rate as during the last ten years, will it exceed soon agriculture as main employer". Given these trends, it is necessary to reformulate development and growth strategies, said Juan Somavia: "In many countries, agricultural workers leave their rural life and poverty in the hope of finding better in the city, but they end up with little or no better, in temporary manual work or small businesses."

Therefore, rather than striving to enter all assets at a discount or labor, which can no longer receive them all, degraded therefore, it is better to study the alternatives based on decency and dignity. The question is not new. Already members of the Convention at the end of the 18th century reflected an income of existence. Without productive exchange, this income would ensure dignity by the insurance of the subsistence minimum. Productive activity of the individual would result in additional compensation that would invite him to work.

At this point perhaps is it worth to echo what was said at the time by Wassili Léontief stating that "the time came where the worker will know the fate of the horse has more vocation and leisure". Behind the utopia of the famous economist lies certainly truth. Search this part is to give each account in the modern productive gives. Of course, respect labour cannot save employers...
