Question 7658 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

The Minister of Culture is particularly attentive to developments in the social situation within public broadcasting companies. France Télévisions has significantly reduced its use of non-permanent employees. Indeed, between 2011 and 2017, the precariousness rate (number of non-permanent workers/total number of employees) fell by -5.1 points, or 14%. The trend continues in the first half of 2018, since the rate of precariousness while non-permanent contracts combined (CDD, CDDU, freelancers, cachetiers) stands at 12.9%, a historic low point of which only 7.5% are CDDUs. This reflects proactive action by the company, through the optimization of activity and personnel planning processes and a policy of integrating on permanent contracts employees who have worked on a long-term fixed-term contract with the company. Thus, 1,682 fixed-term contracts were recruited on permanent contracts between 2011 and 2016 within France Télévisions. In 2017, 231 new permanentizations (transformations of CDD contracts into CDI) were carried out. Despite this progress, society must continue its efforts. To this end, in January 2017, the State commissioned a study by the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS) and the General Inspectorate of Cultural Affairs (IGAC) to take stock of precariousness in public broadcasting. In the light of the areas for improvement proposed by this report, France Télévisions is expected to continue its efforts to reduce precariousness. As such, a new system for managing non-permanent employment has been put in place by France Télévisions. This system thus provides for priority hiring, over the years, of the company's most regular fixed-term contracts (based on employment opportunities). In this regard, Today, 80 to 90% of permanent contract recruitment within France Télévisions concerns people who have held regular fixed-term positions. At the same time, structuring measures were introduced in terms of recourse to intermittent work, in particular by the law of August 17, 2015 which included the principle of a specific regime for artists and entertainment technicians, thus securing appendices 8 and 10 of the convention unemployment insurance. On the other hand, with regard to specific situations, it is not up to the Minister of Culture to intervene in relations between public broadcasting companies and their staff. Indeed, under the terms of Law No. 86-1067 of September 30, 1986 as amended relating to freedom of communication, national program companies enjoy management autonomy. This fundamental principle guarantees the independence of these media from the State.
