Almost six years after their first mobilization in the roundabouts, the “yellow vests” continue to serve as an emblem, sowing – in the process – a bit of enthusiasm in social democracy. On Monday, October 14, a structure that claims this label won the litigation that pitted it against six unions. The Paris judicial court ruled that he had the right to participate in the elections for very small enterprises (VSE), which are to be held, in principle, from November 25 to December 9. However, the decision is not final, new twists and turns may still occur.
On March 13, the services of the Ministry of Labor prepared the list of organizations authorized to participate in voting in the VSE, voting operations that allow measuring the audience of unions in companies with fewer than eleven people. Among the selected candidates is that of the Yellow Vest Union of Unions, created at the initiative of, among others, former CFDT activists, including Alexandre Torgomian and Stéphanie Poursac.
The approach of this new participant was questioned by the actors who were already present. The CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC, CGT, FO and UNSA appealed to the Paris court to annul the ministerial decision of March 13, arguing that these “yellow vest” representatives cannot claim to be unions. . , failing to comply with several conditions required by law (financial transparency, independence, respect for republican values, etc.). Their arguments were on target as the judges concluded, at the end of May, that the Union of Yellow Vest Unions was “Inadmissible to run as a candidate[e] ». But the Court of Cassation, in turn, annulled, a few weeks later, the ruling of the Paris court and ordered that the case be re-examined. Hence a new hearing, which resulted in Monday’s decision, this time in favor of the “yellow vests.”
An uncertainty
METROme Poursac, of course, is delighted with this result and points out that the opposing parties have shown“relentless” with the aim of “stay between [elles] » and to prevent an additional competitor from entering the race. It now remains to be seen the reaction of the six unions whose request was rejected: will they appeal to the Court of Cassation to obtain the invalidation of the ruling handed down on Monday? Most of the power plants requested by the world They explain that they have not yet decided their position, except for the CFE-CGC, which says it intends to attack the decision of the Paris court.
