Interview of M. Cyril Cosme, Director of the ILO Office to France, and Mrs. Marie B\u00e9atrice Levaux, President of the European Federation for Family Employment (EFFE<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ILO celebrates its 100th<\/sup> anniversary this year and reminds to this occasion how the progress of social justice and the promotion of decent working conditions are at the heart of its purpose. Those values have also been intensely advocated for by EFFE, through its European White Paper \u201cHome, family employment and home care in the EU: 10 proposals for an inclusive and social Europe for domestic workers and employers\u201d, which it has already carried through to the new European Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can the ILO take action to reinforce the structure\nof home employment model?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CC:<\/strong> Decent work and social justice are a part of our duty and mandate which\nhave been defined at the ILO foundation back in 1919. To ensure its right\nimplementation, the ILO\u2019s founding charter put through a new international\nsetup aiming at adopting and enforcing legally binding norms such as the ILO\ninternational convention ratified by the States and that allows both to create\nbasic social rules e.g. guaranteeing economically loyal competition sets\nbetween the States as well as norms legally defining what decent work is. Today\nthese conventions cover all various aspects of working relations and collective\nbargaining issues. They focus on specific sectors such as domestic work \u2013 as\nshown by the 189th<\/sup> ILO Convention on domestic workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to domestic work\u2019s specificity it seemed\nimportant to get such a convention, for domestic jobs do not benefit from any\nframework of social rules in many countries. I am not even talking about France\nhere, as France has precisely been a pattern to look up to in that negotiation\nas French collective bargaining has efficiently transformed the share of\ninformal undeclared jobs into common law, formal, labour law compliant\njobs  – most especially with regard to\nequality between workers no matter what field of activity they are involved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides its law-inducing ability the ILO also supports\nStates in their correct enforcement of social protection norms, labour law\nimprovement or creation of social dialogue structures \u2013 most especially\ndeveloping countries in Asia, Africa or Latin-American countries. Countries are\nendowed with a coercive power to ensure compliance to the norms of the ILO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MBL: <\/strong>An organization that aims internationally to regulate labour law and\neven out its rules is a real chance for domestic employment \u2013 a sector that\nexists all over the world but with unequal legislation and protection rules. In\nfact, only an organization acknowledged by most States will be entitled to\nfoster good practices among all countries, in order to ensure recognition of\nthe rights and duties of both domestic employers and workers. EFFE is there to help Brussels structure the sector at European level \u2013\nmaking up about 4% of European jobs and entailing a huge growth potential of 18\nmillion declared jobs. Though we are obviously mainly active at EU level EFFE\nalso aims to get through an organization such as the ILO, so that other countries\ncan seize this essential issue for the daily life of the citizens from all over\nthe world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFFE\u2019s White Paper suggests a series of ten measures to improve the\nrecognition of this sector at European level and the structuring of the domestic\nemployment relationship between employer and worker. It most notably gathered\nsupport from the ILO Brussels office. According to you how does this document\nrelate to the work of the ILO seeking to bring out the private employer-specific\nmodel but also for domestic workers in Europe?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CC:<\/strong> I believe that the interest\nperceived by the ILO in this document is to encourage greater diversity today\nin the labour market. The history of the private employer in France and in\nEurope shows that we do not rely upon a single model of employment but rather\non a very wide range of them. The challenge of the future of work is to make\ndifferent models coexist, including that of the private employer, and to see\nhow, through these different models put side by side, workers will be granted\nan easier access to universal and quality rights as far as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFFE’s work echoes an innovative voice for access to decent work based on home\nemployment sector\u2019s special features and on a model that has made it possible\nto move from what was the prototype of informal and precarious employment to a\nrecognized and quality job endowed with rights and an efficient social\ndialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MBL:<\/strong> \u00a0EFFE and the ILO share common values: promotion of decent work, vector of social and economic integration, enhancement of training and skills for fulfilling and well-paid jobs, social progress with protection and women’s access to the labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our proposals show how concretely these values \u200b\u200bcan be embodied in the\ndaily lives of European citizens. For example, by facilitating declarative\nprocedures for the individual employer through digitization and by creating an\nincentive tax framework in the European states, it is possible to fight\neffectively against undeclared employment. This means on the long run, more tax\nrevenue and therefore more social protection for employees. It also means a\nsustainable cost for the individual employer, more hiring procedures and\ntherefore increased employment for low-skilled people. Such a virtuous circle\ncan definitely be put in place, so why not go for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most political parties have committed themselves to consolidating the\nEuropean Pillar of Social Rights announced in November 2017 as part of the\ncampaign for the European elections. In the aftermath of the election results, would\nyou consider possible that the newly elected European Parliament could throw a\nsignificant impulse in favour of domestic workers\u2019 rights?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>I couldn\u2019t tell you much about the European Pillar of\nSocial Rights as the ILO was not really involved in it. But the ILO looks very\nclosely to the latest developments occurring in Europe because the ILO is very\nmuch influenced by the European history of social relations. Since the 2000s,\nthere is substantial research, a introspection as per the evolution of this\nEuropean social model, so the EPSR can only have an impact on the debate and conventions\nwhich were mostly adopted many years ago by European countries and strongly\ninfluenced by the European Parliament. Some countries are at the forefront of\ndevelopments and changes in work, but we always have a point of vigilance to\nensure that fundamental conventions find their right place into the EU law.\nEven if over the past 15 years some evolution of European countries may cause\nconcern, with a reduction in the coverage of collective agreements, or some\nform of weakening of trade union organizations \u2013 and we are obviously watching\nthis very closely and thoroughly \u2013 Europe yet remains a continent in which the\nthree-parties and social dialogues values remain very strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MBL:<\/strong> We rely heavily on the renewal of Parliament to get things moving. New members must seize a useful subject in the daily lives of millions of European households by adhering to the proposals of our White Paper. Home care is an essential answer to the major challenges that are expected to arise in the upcoming decade: global ageing, as 25% of the European population who will be aged 65 or over by 2035; women\u2019s participation to the labour market, work-life balance, birth rate supports or integration of migrant populations through decent social rights\u2019 providing jobs. There is a handful of jobs with high social utility that we can easily take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the gig economy spreading across all sectors, we are at a turning\npoint in labour law. Action is urgently needed to prevent the installation of\nan underground system where domestic workers would be forced to put up with\nindecent working conditions, too much work flexibility and therefore job\ninsecurity. We have the opportunity to act to create a virtuous ecosystem\ninstead, based upon the employer\u2019s responsibility towards his employee \u2013putting\nsocial rights, professionalization and skills\u2019 development at the heart of this\nmodel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
