Gabriel Attal, who has made work one of the major themes of his action, will promote the new France Travail system on Friday in the Vosges, which replaced Pôle emploi and which now makes obtaining RSA conditional on hours of activity.
Accompanied by Ministers Catherine Vautrin (Labour) and Roland Lescure (Industry), the Prime Minister will visit the France Travail agency in Epinal where he will meet with unemployed people, active solidarity income (RSA) recipients and their accompanying people.
He will then visit the Mauffrey Academy training center and then the Numalliance company, where he will speak on the theme of work.
We must always have a model which encourages the return to employment, (…) working must always yield more than not working, he reaffirmed on RTL on Tuesday on the sidelines of a visit to the Agricultural Show, as in his general policy declaration on January 30 where he uttered the word work around forty times.
Gabriel Attal notably announced in this speech that unemployed people at the end of their rights would no longer have a specific solidarity allowance (ASS) and would be switched to the RSA, under which they will no longer be able to validate quarters for their retirement.
The monthly amount of RSA, which is paid by family allowance funds, is 607.75 euros for a single person and 911.63 euros for a couple without children.
The number of departments where obtaining the RSA will be conditional on 15 hours of activity will increase by the end of February from 18 to 47, before the generalization of this obligation planned for 2025, indicated the Minister of Labor Catherine Vautrin.
The Vosges is one of the departments selected to test the new system, with an employment contract providing for hours of activity in a logic of rights and duties provided for within the framework of the France Travail reform.
This integration system is accompanied in principle by 15 to 20 hours of activity per week within local missions or France Travail: training, company immersions, job search workshops, etc.
Gabriel Attal, who intends to keep an eye on education, his former portfolio, will also lay a wreath on the grave of his distant predecessor Jules Ferry at the Cte Calot Saint-Di-des-Vosges cemetery.
