#10% pay cut for pregnant civil servants: “unacceptable sexist discrimination” for trade unions

Civil service unions deplore the 10% cut in compensation for pregnant civil servants on ordinary sick leave, calling it a “discriminatory measure”.

In a letter to the French government on Friday, civil service unions called for the “immediate withdrawal” of the 10% cut in compensation for pregnant civil servants on ordinary sick leave, “an unacceptably serious discriminatory measure”.

Since March 1, François Bayrou’s government has reduced the pay of civil servants on sick leave from 100% to 90%, after a one-day waiting period which does not apply to pregnant women.

“Our trade union organizations solemnly denounce this unacceptably serious discriminatory measure against pregnant women working in the civil service”, they write.

The letter is addressed to Prime Minister François Bayrou, the Minister for the Civil Service, Laurent Marcangeli, and the Minister Delegate for Equality between Women and Men, Aurore Bergé. It has been signed by eight organizations: Solidaires Fonction publique, CGT Fonction publique, UFFA-CFDT, FSU, CFE-CGC, UIAFP-FO, Unsa Fonction publique, FA-FP. "Manifest sexist discrimination

“Your policy choices mean that pregnant women on ordinary sick leave - excluding leave for pathological pregnancy or maternity leave - will suffer a 10% loss of pay from the first day of sick leave,” the unions denounced.

“Thus, a woman whose pregnancy has been declared but who is forced to take a few days off work on the advice of her doctor will see her pay cut”, they illustrated.

The eight organizations are calling for “the immediate withdrawal” of this measure, described as “clear sexist discrimination”, and “a full guarantee of continued salary for all pregnant women placed on ordinary sick leave on medical advice, whatever the nature of the leave”.

    Over here it’s 80% for sick leave with a doctor’s note. I pay 100% because fuck having a sick person at the workplace. Up to 30 consecutive days, the employer pays by law. Recently I think it was changed to “immediately the country takes over” so the employer doesn’t have to pay anything, or rather they can get it back immediately. I think maternity / paternity is 100%, similar deal with it being paid out by the government. Sick days off are limited to half a year continuuous, then some other process needs to happen to be kept on the “payroll”?

    Oh and yeah, 26 days of paid time off to be spent as you want. Sick time doesn’t factor into anything. And lots of holidays that are time off too.
