Question 17104 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Ian Boucard draws the attention of the Minister of Labor regarding the measures taken to promote the employment of people with disabilities. The law for the freedom to choose one's professional future was promulgated by the President of the Republic on September 5, 2018. It includes measures which, in principle, should facilitate the employment of people with disabilities. However, the provisions aimed at no longer include in the obligation to employ people with disabilities subcontracting contracts entered into by companies or communities with work assistance establishments and services (ESAT), adapted companies (EA) and independent workers with disabilities (TIH), weaken the aforementioned establishments and the approximately 250,000 workers who currently benefit from them. Indeed, this The system encouraged contractors to use disabled workers because subcontracting contracts allowed them to fill the 6% quota of disabled workers within their company. Furthermore, a large proportion of these approximately 250,000 people with disabilities who had access to work through the support offered by ESATs have the capacity to work. less than or equal to a third of that of a so-called “valid” person. The Government's desire to promote the direct employment of people with disabilities will therefore penalize this segment of disabled workers with the lowest work capacity for whom finding work in an environment not adapted to their situation will be all the more difficult. In addition, this will have a financial impact on ESAT, EA and TIH who will see their activities directly weakened by this reform, even though these are establishments that work for the employability of all. This is why he asks how the Government intends to draft the implementing decrees of this law in order to guarantee the employment of people with disabilities as well as the financial balance of establishments working for their social and professional integration.
