On November 14, French employers and several unions reached agreements on unemployment insurance, senior employment measures, and social dialogue. While CFDT and CFTC expressed approval, CGT criticized the unemployment insurance terms for being too harsh. The agreements include changes to compensation rules for job seekers, impacting those working in neighboring countries such as Switzerland. A new contract type aims to enhance opportunities for older job seekers. These negotiations are part of broader government efforts to reduce unemployment expenses significantly.
