Machines to recruit

A tradition of "social recruitment" is historically responsible for permanent swelling of the workforce, especially in the communes. "We are labour companies", said Philippe Mahé, Director General of the city of Toulouse: 78 of the staff of the FPT are enforcement officers. "In times of war, municipalities have naturally hired the wounded and disabled, and it became a culture", said Patrick Le Lidec, researcher at the CNRS. "Jobs downgraded, beyond recruitment by competition, functioned as inserting jobs, and have played a role of damper of mass unemployment," said Emilie Biland, Professor at université Laval in Montreal. "Where there was a tax deposit, there was thus recruitment of contractual galore!", confirmed Patrick Le Lidec. Political patronage was also very active: "Do not forget that the personal are voters."
