was not representative...

of the worker's expectations.

Above all, the union's point

of view...

was more political than pragmatic.

Their point was so indefensible...

that they had to sit down

and negotiate.

Very interesting.

On the other side.

I see you tomorrow.

- What size are you?

- Why?

For you safe jacket. Mrs. Arnoux

will never forgive you.

- I'll avoid a direct hit.

- Be much careful.

- Then, you're not convinced.

- That's not what I said.

You mentioned it very fast.

In general terms, I agree

with the referendum.

- But then-

- Lst's not risk too much.

- I'd like to believe that.

- It will take a long time.

It's my time.

I'm with you, but I don't

find it an effective move.

We've already talked too much.

We lost a lot of time.

When you have something to suggest,

come and see me.

- I didn't mean to go over your head.

- Sure.

We were just talking, I suggested it.

That's all.

In any company, you like it or not,

you have to follow the hierarchy.

Now, let's drop it.

We won't mention it any more.

You write down the questions

and we'll see what to do, right?

Show me.

- Speak up, I don't mind.

- We don't want to bother you.

I'm used to working

with some noise.

- I need a coffee break.

- I'll make some.

Thank you, mom.

Dad, can I ask you something?

I've got a questionnaire

to be responded by the personnel.

So as to know what you think

about the 35 hours a week.

- What do you make of globalization?

- What is globalization?

When you consider the hours worked

per year, on a whole.

According to different periods, some

weeks you'll work 5 to 6 days...

and, others, just 2 to 3 days,

according to demands and inventories.

We'll work 6 days per a week

and 3 days per another?

- For instance.

- Without notice?

I believe so.

We didn't talk about details...

but that's the idea.

- It's not periodic.

- It's less monotonous.

I don't find it monotonous now.

- It's good when you don't do

the same always. -I don't know.

Anyway, tell me what do you think,

because that's the questionnaire for.

I don't have to answer. Besides,

I don't know what's best for me.

For you? For your life?

What would you have?

There is no difference.

Time at work will be reduced,

that's enough progress.

I won't trust them anyway.

Jean-Claude, there's a rumor

in the company.

Didn't you hear?

It seems that Frank is writing

down a questionnaire. Is it true?

He doesn't tell me everything.

He's got a job, a responsibility.

If one day you don't

feel so proud about your son...

tell him that he doesn't have to

ask the workers. That's the union's job.

Tell him that a questionnaire

made up by the bureau...

has no value.

Did you hear me?

- What is this?

- Out of the way.

- You know why we are here.

- Let's talk.

About what? When everything is done?

You need support?

The man of the case.

Hi.

Let me remind you that you have

no right to organize...

negotiations without the union.

What negotiations? Let me tell you

this is just a questionnaire.

We won't take part.

The referendum is ilegal!

Calm down, please.

It's perfectly legal.

It has nothing to do with negotiations.

It's base work.

As part of my training, and under

the responsibility of the bureau...

I am organizing a questionnaire and

I would like your cooperation.

No way.

I wasn't born yesterday.

You know what's all this?

It's a low trick.

Of course not. It's an initiative

of the bureau, you take it or leave it.

It means we are not isolated.

Don't use words you don't know.

You can't oppose to the bureau

wanting to hear the workers.

Don't use an innocent voice.

The referendum is illegal.

We won't take part,

I'll call for a boycott.

And that questionnaire

will have no meaning at all.

We've already lost a lot of time.

I lost my time.

I know what I have to do. Bye.

Let's talk more calmly.

Won't you sit down?

I believe we need to talk calmly.

I want to make clear

that this questionnaire is legal.

It doesn't stand against negotiations.

It wasn't intended for that.

I promise.

- What do you warrantee?

- Nothing.

I give you my word that it will

be organized with total transparency.

We will be watching.

We won't swallow anything.

I hope so. I won't let you

swallow anything.

I just wish to have the chance

to work with you.

Congratulations, Frank. You use

diplomacy, you got ideas, focus.

Good job. Arnoux is isolated.

She's gone.

The others stayed. They are cracked.

You did what we couldn't do.

I hope you don't believe this

was just an strategy.

My work is just beginning.

I hope I'll get much more...

than the elimination of Mrs. Arnoux.

We need to talk.

- That's what we need.

- Don't mock at me.

I'm not mocking at you.

You're moving on a tightrope.

We need a very balanced questionnaire.

And it has to look as

if your opinion were important...

without raising false expectations

that we won't be fulfilling.

- I'll keep that in mind.

- Alright. I let you work.

That girl, Julie.

You are dating her?

- Once in a while.

- What does it mean?

- It's not something steady.

- What a pity. She's nice.

How about Paris? Do you go out?

- Yes, of course.

- Where do you go?

Nowhere in particular.

I have to study a lot.

How can you live in Paris?

When you're on vacations, maybe-

The traffic, the people,

you can't live there.

- That's nothing new.

- Typical parisiene. You mock at the rest.

I'm not mocking at you,

but you're saying bullshit...

- pretending to be an stupid countryman.

- Stop playing a bloody snob.

What is the matter?

Success did something to your head?

Go to hell! I'm losing my time

with you. I don't owe you anything.

!You're no boss here.

I have nothing to do with the boss

or the workers.

- He's not up already?

- He came back late. Let him rest.

Sure, he needs some sleep.

- Wake up, it's noon.

- Leave me alone.

Nice picture.

- What do you do when I'm not here?

- I do it alone.

All your questions are about leisure

time. How much time do you use...?

What part of your budget...?

What do we care?

If you mean worktime reduction,

you have to mention that.

We need simple questions

with clear responses.

We need results that can be

translated into statistics.

You want a multiple choice?

You get nothing if you don't suggest it.

They won't have brilliant ideas.

You'll get common places

that have nothing to do. It's natural.

I can imagine them. A white sheet

of paper will intimidate them.

With a little bit of work,

we can modify your questionnaire.

What do you expect to get

by labor hour reduction?

Make it simpler.

The 35 hours a week... what for?

Then, you suggest three answers.

Fighting against unemployment.

It's unclear, but it sounds positive.

Then, we suggest education.

- May I come in?

- Of course.

Could you leave us alone?

This is what we'll do.

" Before implementing

the 35 hours a wee...

the bureau wishes to consult

with the whole personnel.
