By Henry Vacquin What may do well to hear the particular sensibility of public opinion suicides of work, and especially those of France Telecom, in fact no more here than in many other businesses? It will be done by the hypothesis that this sensitivity is a sign of awareness of allergy collective vis-à-vis a certain kind of exercise of power as the ultra-liberal values, reinitiated the early 80 on the planet by Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Reagan introduced them. A planet which France is part and which, whatever its equipment on social protection has been severely blighted.
The "suicide labor" are not new, but previously did not exceed their echoes the service area or geographic unit of work. The trauma they created remained confined to these areas. It was not uncommon then players from that act, if it is ultimately in charge the responsibility for labor relations, but without the slightest echo. Nuisance of work, it was thought, could alone drive a person to come to that end if this does not happen on the ground of personal weakness. Any Allergy group in respect of a certain kind of exercise of power that suicides are a symptom within the company as in the City was not thinkable.
Then came the first media coverage of so-called suicide of work ", Bulk EDF. Thales, PSA, Renault. The symbolic power of such an act attributed by his players in the employment relationship sparked a deep trauma in the companies concerned and this well beyond the area of service or the factory where he was confined in the past. No one is master of the impact of issues that arouse such acts and all unless they are rarely isolated. The injury extended to all personnel of companies whose suicides were publicized was the first sign of the growing impact of suicides of work. The result created an early awareness of the directions, even if only because of the damage to the company's image in public opinion. We strove first to deny the nature and scope of the work of suicide. Thus for the first time, companies were interested in the rate of suicides in society in order to relativize their own. Already the Department of Communication, internally and externally, had done much to bury suicides. And some, no less suicidal than others, would better protect their image. Suicides work gradually named as such. questioned as much as unionism directions and thousands of deals implicit built for silence. A fear of suicide Labour was born, not only in companies directly publicized but far beyond. Play down the events playing the extinguisher was no longer fast enough be enough. The HRD, mostly aware of their impotence, used the revenues available. And surveys of large samples of staff showing that 80 ~ staff, happy to have a job these days, consoled themselves with a company that still was not the prison. It only remained then to disseminate the results of said surveys in the company and of course in the local and national press. Certainly, there could be between 10 and 15 ~ of "polled fragile" but minority in the great confusion that we did in our Company among survey. intention to vote and election, management could consider himself elected in the exercise of its management.
Finally, with respect to these "fragile". we would psychologists at their disposal to enable them to "mourn" nuisance work, this being cheaper than ~ s address its pollution. We went forward some training for managers as they had done with the stress and harassment. but this time it was said forcefully. Li was generally treat the symptoms. under no circumstances to question the foundations of fiscal management, that is to say the values that govern the exercise of power in the employment relationship.
So before France Telecom came of it, Renault. Media coverage of suicide and its echo in public opinion were such that the CEO personally felt it was crucial to break the phenomenon of denial strategy to address symptoms of dysfunction of management, failing which the upstream aroused. It announced the ban on meetings before 7:30 and after 19:30, the recruitment of HR and a large qualitative survey on the perception of nuisance work by the people! as feed material for consultation and negotiation with trade unions. It was during the media coverage of suicides Renault, shortly before September 2008 and hot on the event. The cautery Ghosn on the wooden leg of management quelqu'effet produced, at least on its side image of the company.
The "suicide of work" France Telecom would be publicized them one year after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and meet a different echo, not unrelated to maturation of a year in the opinion of had revealed that the crisis of capitalism uttralibéral and nature of e ercises which was congruent hierarchical.
Until then, the drastic change in work and employment inaugurated under the tutelage (values ultralibéraies by Ms. Thatcher and Mr. Reagan had returned to the customs. The greed for gain as the only motor of history, all at the individual without regard to the debt of the Company, the employment relationship based on a contract where the seller would be led to equal dignity with the leader had formed a core of values that had gradually built in assumption in 1989 when the collapse of the "non-market" related to tyranny, propelled the market to the pinnacle to become a "whole market". At that time, the libertarian premise had met all conditions to establish itself as such. Was therefore acquired the elimination of any matter which could be directed. And 30 years of murder of the "Question" are not without consequences, especially for the exercise of powers-cons that eat them organically. He then goes for any system that erects its values assumption of having no limit other than itself, which dooms him to suicide. Evidenced in this time of commemoration, the self-annihilation of the postulates of values of national socialism as communism.
Proportionately between nuisance respective values when they set themselves up as postulates, that of ultra-liberalism is not without revealing his propensity to suicide. The crisis has indeed nothing to any challenge from liberal values and social democrats but a system that, to believe the Almighty, has gone mad.
Until September 2008, the changing global labor and employment and financialisation all manes are very well placed in our democracies, in the city and at work. Not the least of the issues which refers to the ability of taxpayers ment we are capable, even in a democracy, through the perversion of values. The "National Socialism" did he not imposed in a prior democratic? In the late 70 September 2008, the Anesthesia Question regarding the premise has any license or almost.
The concept of employment has increased from that of "social utility", the company provides everyone that it can live in the "I" and see it recognized by the community, the almost exclusive variable staff adjustment. The design of the working relationship grew from that of a individualization empowering emancipatory work of the 70 required to mobilize the individual's subjective done so as a result of a failure at work, failure to maintain an identity capable of self-depreciation may lead to suicide.
This has been lived for 30 years, with a certain fatalism, a suppressed anger, mixed with helplessness and a profound sense of injustice, there was no indication that a possible outcome.
The 2008 crisis was an announcement made many stunning as a formidable Question awakening based on the observation of the obvious immorality of values that legitimized the practices that led us there. Immorality which, for driving the system to the disaster continues well into the practices of leaders showing all day a little more than suicide in 2008 has all the airs of those which are well reborn from its ashes. Remove a spell of the ruling classes in ultra-liberal assumption is in no way undermined. Nothing indicates, Machiavelli dixit, that our decision makers are able to do as a gift what would force the need, quite the contrary. As the 18th century Returns emigrants at Coblentz and elsewhere who had learned nothing, exacerbating tensions even further and break with what was learned opinion.
After a year of maturation of the finding of immorality land of the crisis, that the opinion weaves a connection between values and realities libertarian premise is not surprising. Whether this comes through the employment relationship is natural, it is indeed there, in daily contact with very concrete nature of the exercise of power that can be most easily achieved the perversion of values bear the ultra-liberal management practices.
For the first time, suicide France Telecom gives rise to a strong association in the working relationship between public opinion and suicide of work. A devastating question as hell because it questions the exercise of power itself and the values on which it is based in the company. So too does the individualization of the employment relationship undertaken by the ultra-liberal conception of the individual assumed inalienable sonable in its entirety except for having a disability singular. Thus the subjective mobilization in the employment relationship where the individual is supposed to arrange quelqu'organisation work whatsoever even if she changes continuously, making him lose his marker to lie within (the company and the collective work. Thus the situation where a hurt growth of the organization affecting work efficiency can be experienced only as a personal failure. Thus the evaluation of individual performance undertaken supposedly on equal dignity between leader and subordinate as if s' acting in the negotiation of a commodity. So freedom of the wolf in the henhouse which will equip directions fall in all financial bubbles that pass and make them pay in layoffs or changes in overnight posting also a perverse discourse in management planning of employment and skills. And greed for gain as the sole engine of investment of the individual who suffers from a few notable disproportion between the individual and the individual executive officer performance. Well .. well the feeling of contempt which eventually produce the most invested in the work which all do not die but all are affected. Nothing there that requires having an aggregate economy to be felt as such in the opinion public just has he had in September 2008 and a year of maturation for this alarm in France than elsewhere irritability identity which we have historical tradition. While our union in early 2009 offered an outlet for anger filling fully the function of social regulation that lends him too little, but he has acted just one outlet. Trade unionism is not capacity to fill all the gaps of the Company which specifically those under the policy as it is precisely the case today.
This questioning of the year of power within the company applies equally to the exercise of power in the city whether that policy to cases such as those in opposition. We currently much debate about a possible return to maturity remains very uncertain and it occupies the entire space. It's much overlooked evidence in this case that the societal or social crises are in the economic crises after the fact. If the hypothesis here is married subject, there would be a lot of trouble to do so there is no indication that things will not, contrary to what was said, never again what they were. Not to stick only to the world of work in the private, public and our government, we are very far from taking the suicides of work for this as they ask questions to management. Unionism itself, faced as the primary power-cons in the exercise of power under the conditions and labor relations, can not exempt itself from responsibility in what has become the management. He is not here to make equal the chief responsibility of service that is prescribed to stress its employees and the staff representative, but to question the management union among others who made the last wheel of RFP's coach of the year to organize. Restructuring goals as the organization and management needed to organize who will unfortunately still too long. Our employers' in crisis of representation lack the stimulation that their union would be highly necessary.
The Rise of Lucidity of opinion is unlikely to meet anything but evasive answers to the question.
A great fear of the suicides did not stop in less established companies. Even the strongest dictatorships are powerless to subject the individual when the ultimate threat of killing is no longer operational. This unless they have managed to achieve what Hannah Arendt described as the situation in which we are a tyranny without a tyrant "apart from an assumption of values that has bewitched the world. May this firm spanking, dramatic forms it has taken, addressed by opinion leaders of all kinds take the educational dimension of learning to the limit. But God does, helped by the political affairs as in the opposition and the unions, we do not have to bear everything we can support.
