25 questions and answers on the 35 hours: a detail, is it already possible to derogate from the 35 hours?

THE LEGAL WORKING HOURS (35 HOURS, THRESHOLD FOR ACTIVATING OVERTIME) AND THE MAXIMUM DURATION (48 HOURS) ARE SOCIAL PUBLIC ORDER DURATION.

HOWEVER, CAN WE DERGO THEM? Yes, since the Bertrand law, 2008, by “agreement” with unions representing a majority of the employees concerned.

This was the case at Bosch or Continental and in a certain number of key cases where employers blackmailed social public order, forcing employees under pain of unemployment to work more without overtime being increased... and then the Continental bosses, having swallowed this deal, shut down and fired anyway.

In fact, this is what Copé, Valls and…the UFO Macron would like to impose on the whole country: the initial Continental agreement.

This is the case of the Warzmann (Sarkozy) law of March 22, 2012 which authorized, by union agreement, a "company in difficulty" to question working hours for a year.

This has been the case since the ANI Medef CFDT of January 11, 2014 and the resulting Sapin law of June 14: it allows a "company in difficulty" by company union agreement to challenge both working time AND wages for two years.

What Macron proposes is, by union agreement, not just at company level but even at branch level, to call into question both working hours and wages, without time limit, and without the company being "in difficulty"...

With Macron, that is the end – demanded by the Medef – of the notion of social public order of “legal duration” (the maximum duration will follow, and the Smic at 151:66 will de facto be called into question). The pay cut will be automatic since the overtime increase of the 36^e hour and following, will jump.
