unusual facts about First Employment Contract



Contrat nouvelle embauche

Unlike the later First Employment Contract (CPE) which was repealed in 2006 (soon after its enactment), after protests the CNE has been used as a job contract despite opposition from trade unions.

Since the more-recent First Employment Contract (CPE) was rejected after months of protest, unions have also been trying to cancel the CNE.

After the April 2006 cancellation of the First Employment Contract, unions have increased pressure to cancel this contract; they contend that it creates precarious work for employees, endangering job security.

With the similar CPE contract discussions, opponents (unions and opposition leaders) have supported the reversal of burden of proof to the employer in all employment cases.
