“…However, throughout these reforms, the idea has emerged that some compensation mechanisms should be introduced for those who had experienced hard working conditions or started to work early (Caser and Jolivet 2014). This idea was strongly supported by the trade unions and was a topic of social dialogue between 2003 and 2017.…”

“…This shift in state strategy is not unique to WFB. If public regulation remains a dominant feature of the French context, the state favours recourse to a collective bargaining process in order to change employer practices (Caser and Jolivet, 2014). This strategy of 'negotiated public action' (Groux, 2001) has been deployed since the 1982 Auroux Laws.…”

“…However, this legal mechanism, which invites social partners to the negotiating table and prescribes the menu, allows for diverse logics of implementation. First, by incorporating the WFB issue into the list of themes to be treated during mandatory collective bargaining on gender equality, it engenders a silo approach in which each theme is isolated rather than an approach favouring global reflection on the issues at stake (Caser and Jolivet, 2014). WFB is therefore rarely linked to gender equality in such agreements.…”

Trade union involvement in work–family life balance: lessons from France

This article explores the challenges faced by union involvement in work–family life balance. It draws on the French case, where the state’s explicit call for firms to address the work–family life balance issue, notably through mandatory collective bargaining, has provided opportunities for union mobilization. Findings from qualitative research conducted at branch and company levels show that this public strategy has failed to stimulate innovation in related union policy and practices, even within a relatively feminized and partnership-oriented confederation. The reasons for this failure are discussed using a theoretical framework combining opportunity structure, and voice and choice issues. The article concludes that union underinvestment in work–family life balance results from a lack of effectiveness of the opportunity structure, but also, more specifically, from voice and choice factors which lead union representatives to downplay the issues at stake in this new bargaining agenda.

France: working longer takes time, in spite of reforms to raise the retirement age

Examination of the French situation from a comparative European perspective exposes the country's poor performance with regard to the employment of seniors and the prolongation of working life. Despite a recent rise in the employment rate of 55-59 year-olds, worrisome signs have appeared, such as the steep rise in unemployment for this age category; this is indicative of the increasing vulnerability of ageing workers in the labour market. This critical analysis of twenty years of French public policies related to older workers seeks to identify the reasons for France's lag in making working life longer. The principal reason seems to be that public policies have nearly exclusively focused on increasing the supply of senior labour without adequately taking into account incentives for stimulating corporate demand for it. The many pension reforms undertaken from 2003 to 2014 have sought to lift the institutional obstacles to working longer. Accordingly, they have raised both the legal retirement age and the requisite number of quarters of contributions for entitlement to a full pension under Social Security. But effective, active labour market policies for stimulating the demand for senior labour have been lacking.
