Question 12583 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Michel Sala alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Families to the situation of workers in establishments or work assistance services (ESAT). These 1,400 structures accommodate more than 120,000 workers whose remuneration system ensures an income barely more than half the minimum wage, below the poverty line. These workers do not fall under the labor code, but under the social action and families code, because they are considered users of the establishments with which they have signed a contract. The average remuneration of people working in ESAT is only 800 euros net monthly for 35 hours of work per week. In the constituency of the MP, the ESAT des Gardons announced in the spring the closure of its Rouret site without involving the ESAT workers in the decision, triggering a movement among them unprecedented social. 3 days of action have already taken place to demand the maintenance of the site, to this local demand were immediately added social demands that they presented to me. Mr. MP was notably able to meet Jérôme, who opens the company alone at 5 a.m. to load his truck before starting a delivery tour of more than 150 km, always alone and with responsibility. Jerome works as a deliveryman 35 hours per week, for a salary barely exceeding 800 euros net per month. These workers claim, when they are seconded to the company, to have the same rights and remuneration as their colleagues. They also demand an increase in guaranteed remuneration and its indexation to inflation, the revaluation of retirement pensions, the reimbursement of travel, the return of the meal bonus, the increase holiday vouchers, participation in the CSE, as well as the right to training, union representation and the right to strike. Article 27 of the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified by France, specifies that persons with disabilities have "the right to work, in particular to the possibility of earning their living by carrying out work freely chosen or accepted on a labor market and in an environment of open work, promoting inclusion and accessible to people with disabilities”. Some of the provisions to promote access to employment for people with disabilities in Bill No. 1528 for full employment are in line with the demands of these disabled workers. The MP alerts the Minister to the importance of the rapid implementation of the new rights provided for by this text. He also asks her how it intends to act to respond to their legitimate demand for an increase in salaries and for their status to be brought closer to that of workers in ordinary environments while maintaining the necessary support they benefit from in protected environments.
