CDD très courts : échec des négociations du 9 avril 2026
Après l'échec des négociations du 9 avril 2026 sur les contrats courts, le statu quo demeure : 85,3 % des embauches en CDD au premier trimestre 2026, la moitié pour quatre jours, et 39,8 % des 15-24 ans en CDI. Les CDD d'usage et les contrats saisonniers n'ouvrent toujours pas droit à la prime de précarité.
