are you in favour of this single contract thing ?? (none / 0)

The basic principle underlying a trial period is that each of the parties can terminate the employment at will without having to pay compensation to the other party.
If you stick to the definition, there is no severance pay provided for. Unless you already own your flat and have a comfortable cushion of spare money, homelessness is not an hyperbole.
I am starting to think you are supportive of this measure, Jérôme.

Agnes:

I must be very dense because I read your posts and I don't understand what you want (for your country).

I don't want to build a straw man here. Explain to me in plain English in the simplest terms possible how you would like the average employer-average employee situation to be like?

Because I sure don't get what you're after.

Re: quite simple : (none / 0)

a fair balance of power between employees and employers, and ability to defend one's interests within a sensible contractual framework. Hope that helps.

My view is that the system we've had in place in France until now was not that bad.

When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
