ABSTRACT
A generalized preference for short-term financial profitability would lead many enterprises to act on the leverage of the organization of work to support somehow a productivity led by a cumulative deficit of research and investment. The duality of the labor market would be further deepened, as well as the difficulties of the ‘outsiders’ to become ‘insiders’ as well as, concerning the latter, the tetanizing fear of a lasting downgrading. In a persistent climate of relative mistrust between employees and employers, teleworking formulas, likely to help reconcile increased professional constraints with those of private life, would not have optimal development in the professional fields that lend themselves to it. The violence of financial crises and their effects on the real economy recurrently underline the divergent interests of stakeholders. The law has also been an important step in the government’s desire to encourage collective bargaining in very small enterprises.
