Presentation
The reform of labor law is accelerating and the center of gravity is shifting even more strongly towards collective agreements. The "El Khomri" law clearly assumes this orientation, which has been underway for several years, and reinforces the primacy of the company agreement while consolidating the role of the branch. This overhaul of labor law provides an opportunity to better adapt the rule of law to a world of work that is diversifying faster and more intensely.
This commitment to collective agreements, shared by many European Union countries, calls for a change in the behavior of collective bargaining actors. However, this is not the case. Not only do the social partners not take sufficient advantage of the flexibility provided by the law to derogate from the "standard" regulatory framework (Mr. Valls, letter dated April1, 2015 addressed to Jean-Denis Combrexelle, President of the Social Section of the Council of State), but a culture of collective bargaining has not yet taken hold in our country.
In order to give a new dynamic to collective bargaining, the Combrexelle report, submitted to the Prime Minister on September 9, 2015, recommends the implementation of joint union/business training.
The "El Khomri" law takes up this proposal by inserting in the Labor Code (art. L. 2212-1) several provisions on the organization of joint training courses provided by training centers, institutes or organizations with the assistance of the National Institute for Work, Employment and Vocational Training.
