French government urged to negotiate the CGT union at the approach of Euro 2016

The government of France, which seeks to avoid a paralysis of public transport when next week starts the football tournament Euro 2016, urged on Tuesday the union CGT to negotiate a way out of confrontation about plans Executive to reform labor laws.

Ministers of Transport and Employment made the call after signs that the CGT, the second largest union by members, may be ready for talks after months of street protests and regular strikes, while another strike is planned on the railways during the day .

The Socialist government has taken the checkbook to calm other sectoral disputes and prevent the protest became a national movement. The Government announced a salary increase for teachers, abandoned plans to cut spending on research and promised funds to settle a dispute over unemployment insurance in the performing arts.

Stop railways and strike calls in other sectors of transport envisaged for the week have raised fears of chaos when starting the Euro 2016, which takes place from 10 June to 10 July, with the estimate of a attendance of 2.5 million fans in stadiums, including 1.5 million foreign visitors.

Although President Francois Hollande has reiterated its refusal to withdraw the labor reform that would facilitate the hiring and firing, the ministers said they hoped to defuse the conflict if the leader of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, showed available.

For now, the union has asked that the government withdraw the reform plan and has led marches and stops in sectors such as transport and refining of oil.

Minister for Employment, Myriam The Khomri, told RTL radio that if there was no change in the position of the union, there would be no agreement.

The union leader said in a debate on RTL radio: "Let's talk again." He added that there was "no preconditions".

Hollande told the daily Sud Ouest in an interview that there was no turning back on the proposed law to ease labor regulations.
