You've heard or not, however, elections Staff representatives are approaching. We suspect that given the news in this company is not necessarily the subject you are most passionate about. As we suspected, the Department wants this year to establish electronic voting. The CFDT and CGC for being, it will happen regardless of our opinion.
But why oppose electronic voting?
We certainly understand the benefits in terms of cost and workload for HR services. They are undoubtedly more important things to do than spend hours photocopying lists or make bets in an envelope. We have already
much more difficult to understand the argument that more workers will vote. We probably wrong to think that employees are responsible people who vote, or not to express an opinion, not because it offers them a more simplified, downplaying the gesture. We prefer that this raises the question of why employees do not vote in this election rather than assuming that they can vote in 2 clicks mechanically, they will vote more. By way of illustration, the United States is the world record of forbearance, while they use systems "advanced" meant to help to vote.
But for us there are more fundamental problems.
Already, the system allows a vote unverifiable, there was no paper to count to compare with the database in case of doubt. The system is opaque, source code does not come cheap, and anyway the major part of us would be unable to understand them.
More importantly, in our representative democracy, a vote must be transparent, unique, sincere, confidential and anonymous. This system does not meet these conditions. The first 3 are problematic in case of intrusion in the databases. The last two are threatened by the fact that the vote may be the workplace, potentially under the gaze of managers or other colleagues.
The French Federation of Associations of Science and Information Technology, as April's (Association for the promotion and defense of free software) and took a clear stand against this type of vote. However, this
thus increasingly in business, and therefore what it will with us.
Since electronic voting will be implemented provided it is done the least harm possible.
A first effort has been made by management in selecting a provider deemed to be most reliable on the market today.
However, we have a priori shocked and Management and our colleagues of the CFDT and CGC claiming adherence to a basic principle of democracy that is the secrecy of the vote, which for us is through the non-accessibility vote on the workstations.
Indeed, many of us work in offices where every group what the other can be seen, in which case, how to be sure to vote quietly, without peer pressure?
Branch meets today there will be no problem because the electronic voting machines with booth will be available to employees and those who request it will always vote by mail paper (which we encourage you to do). Of course, some managers may think that trying to prevent their subordinates to fit the "voting machines" on the pretext that they may do so from their workplace (and therefore why waste a few precious minutes of productivity to an ordinary vote) do that would be pure fantasy ... Anyway, if you decide to vote in this way, we encourage you to move to computers to vote and take the necessary time in the voting booth to vote peacefully.
