Aisne: 35 hours of work necessary to achieve the (RSA) active solidarity income. Back to forced labour, for those who are "crazy money"?




This Monday, June 24, the proposal of the President of the Departmental Council of Aisne formulated during his meeting with Emmanuel Macron in the framework of the great national debate was voted: the beneficiaries of the RSA will be forced to perform 35 hours of work per week for to touch their income. The idea is that the unemployed, if they do not want to see their RSA allowance reduced, will have to devote 35 hours of volunteer work as part of their reintegration project. In other words, a volunteer ... obligatory. Work without pay, the new idea of government.

Proof of the indecency and arrogance of the project, the latter was named "Aisne Assets". In line with the many statements of the President of the rich who explained to us that social assistance costs "a crazy dough" or that offered to a young unemployed to "cross the street" to find a job, this new measure, whose name imply that the unemployed would be "inactive", aims once again to blame and criminalize those who bear the brunt of the ultra-liberal policy of the government.

Nicolas Fricoteaux, at the origin of the project, even told the micro Franceinfo that one of the benefits of the project would be to end with "polemics on assistantship". These so-called polemics are nevertheless created from scratch by the government itself and the bosses who, by this type of measures, seek to place the responsibility for misery on those who suffer it. It is in this sense that a mother of the family challenged the President in an open letter published on Permanent Revolution a few months ago: "Do you seriously think that we" inactive "we were bored? We run administrations in an attempt to make room for the proposed job one where we are sometimes twenty to apply, and twenty others will postulate, putting us in competition against each other. "

By introducing this measure in a region, it obviously serves as a pilot. There is no doubt that this type of measure then aims to be generalized and extended throughout the country.

This criminalization of the unemployed is clearly assumed. Last February Laurent Wauquiez, President of the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region, declared: "I am fighting for hours of community service (TIG) to be carried out in return for the RSA". The logic is therefore very clear: the unemployed are criminals, and will have to do community service as a person who has committed an offense. The TIG are indeed in France a penal sanction of substitution to the imprisonment.

However, it is this system and bosses who speak of assistantship who are responsible for structural unemployment allowing them to create competition between employees, in order to always degrade their wages and working conditions. Let us also remember that in the Aisne, one of the departments most affected by unemployment, there are 22 unemployed people for only one offer.

An anonymous letter
“Hello,
Since the time we say that we are really threatened by the ambiguity of integration policies and the lack of lucidity of the administration on the real meaning of these policies and the representations they convey: here is the confirmation.

Exit follow-up organizations, accompaniments, the need to look for a job, etc ...: with 35 hours (nothing less!) Of forced volunteering, the recipient will now be sentenced to RSA (and therefore forced labour) for life. More time to develop a project or look for a job ... Besides getting around every day has a cost that the RSA certainly does not allow to assume ...

Concretely, I do not see too much the feasibility of this iniquitous decision: how recipients without car, or with very old cars that cannot even meet the new standards and cost of control technical version 2019, will they be able to move to perform their 35h mandatory in are as rural? If we add to this the announced privatization of national roads (= tolls), the increase in insurance, fuel, not to mention all the others, the prospect is Kafkaian!

The RSA currently allows just not to starve and heal (CMU) universal health coverage. With this provision, there is no doubt that it is to permanent fasting that recipients are condemned if they are really obliged to go out of their house every day.

Finally, as I have already said (in vain, because the words I hear in the PTI give me to think that I speak in the desert) we would like to make us simply disappear that we do not do otherwise.

Above the pediment of the entrance to the Auschwtitz camp was written "Arbeit macht frei" (Work makes free).Those who have crossed this portal have (almost) never returned. And to all those who find these words "exaggerated", unnecessarily "dramatic", I still remember that dozens of workers and precarious on the street were free of charge, mutilated, hundreds imprisoned for the past six months simply for expressing their opposition to this state of mind: consists in taxing inconsiderately, pushing people to the top, and then criminalizing any inclination opposition.

Whoever makes poor workers, unemployed, recipients of RSA, trade unionists, journalists too disturbing, criminals treating them as such. Whoever will make all citizens, even those who think they are safe, soon suspects, if we do not stand together today.
Who is silent consents.
Wake up! Cordially
