Question 35587 — unemployment

Summary

Mr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration to the fate of seasonal workers. Their number is estimated at nearly a million by the Directorate of Research Animation, Studies and Statistics (Dares). Nearly half of seasonal workers work in the catering, accommodation and leisure sectors, mainly at holiday destinations. Many have seen their income drop due to covid-19 and its consequences. 45% of seasonal workers have no other employment contract. 120,000 of them are usually hired in ski resorts. The MP takes note of the measure to cover the partial unemployment of these workers by the State, up to 84% of the net salary, as long as the ski lifts remain closed. This announcement concerns only those who can present a promise of employment dated before December 1, 2020. According to the unions, 20% to 30% of them will be left behind. The MP therefore asks the Minister first to please detail the terms of this measure and, if necessary, to specify what is planned for seasonal workers who will not be able to benefit from it. The MP takes note of the announcement of state aid amounting to 900 euros per month from November 2020 to February 2021 to precarious, seasonal, intermittent or extra workers deprived of resources. To do this, they will need to have worked at least 60% of the time in 2019. It seems that the conditions to benefit from this are very restrictive. The MP therefore asks the Minister to please detail the terms of this measure in order to estimate the number of seasonal workers who will actually be able to do so. benefit. The unions believe that many seasonal workers do not reach the required threshold. Obviously, many uncertainties remain regarding the resumption of activity. Therefore, he would like to know whether the Government intends to take other measures to support all seasonal workers.
