Established as a result of the heat of the summer 2003, the day of solidarity continues to debate. Three days of Whit Monday, Dominique de Villepin again welcomed yesterday this device imagined in his time by Jean-Pierre Raffarin, while the leader of the CFDT François Chérèque, denounced "an additional inequality" with the employees of small businesses. And while its number one Jacques Voisin, refuses the "breach" in the labour law opened by unpaid overtime work day, the CFTC calls to strike. The field Monday of Pentecost should resemble a holiday than a typical working day. According to a study of 570 large enterprises and SMEs ("Les Echos" from May 5), near a business on two will keep its doors closed. The deal then imposed on the employees is as follows: they keep their Monday in exchange for a day of RTT, except in a few companies decided to "give" that day.
Companies wishing to work normally will be on their side facing slower activity, including the prohibition of heavy to circulate and the decision of the position, unlike last year, lower rideau. Workplace promise to be even more deserted that number of employees private holiday prefer digging in their RTT to care for their children: this year, 12 million school children of primary and secondary school are invited by the Government to stay home.

Speeds Sunday
Teachers and professors will not, far from it, only officials to be able to spend on their Monday. Or services of the Prime Minister, nor those of the Minister of public service are risky to be in a count, but the prolonged weekend will most often be the rule. A Matignon in the ministries of employment, health, Justice (courts ensure only immediate appearances), agriculture or even of economy and finance, Monday will be not working. Exception: the Ministry of the Interior, where it will be a "normal day", said in the entourage of Nicolas Sarkozy. Social services, all NAE agencies will be closed, but some Assedic agencies and certain family allowance funds will open, as all of the primary health insurance funds. The municipalities have each fact their choice, without connection with their political color. Will work for example in Lille City Hall, but not to that of Paris. In the public service, Whit Monday when it is not worked will be counted in day of RTT for the staff who have, or will result in seven hours of additional work spread in the year.
In transport, the day will also speeds Sunday, and not only because of the return of weekend extended. The SNCF estimated as well as traffic should resemble that of a holiday, except for the Rhône-Alpes TER, at the request of the Regional Council. Even approach in urban transport: to RATP, where some trade unions (Unsa, FO, CFTC) called the strike, service expected Monday will be those normally deployed Sunday. No big cloud on the horizon in air transport, where navigation and airport personnel are invited to work. The place of work or at home, best in any case worth not falling ill Monday: as last year, the MG France Union recommends general practitioners closed their offices.
