Pls see below thanks

-I- Expertises :
La loi prévoit que l'entreprise finance des experts choisis par les élus du CE et des CHSCT pour les assister dans l'analyse de la situation et pour élaborer des propositions alternatives qui doivent être obligatoirement débattues avec la direction.
Les rapports d'expertise sont des supports essentiels pour effectuer des contre-propositions et éviter la casse sociale.
La CGT a obtenu in-extremis que les experts puissent intervenir jusqu'au bout de la phase de consultation formelle.

neutral  Jocelyne Cuenin: vous avez raison, mais cela implique plutôt une déchirure dans le tissu social et solidaire. Comme si le système fonçait dans le tas sans se soucier des pertes... sans se soucier de la casse des acquis sociaux...

industrial conflict / breakdown of industrial relations


Explanation:
Les parties sociales are management and unions (a.k.a. the two sides of industry) and that is the sense in which "sociale" is used here.

"Derrière les 10% de chômeurs, l’énorme casse sociale et économique de la persistance du chômage de longue durée"

www.editionsladecouverte.fr/.../index-La_violence_des_riche...‎
"Sur fond de crise, la casse sociale bat son plein : vies jetables et existences sacrifiées."

http://www.cnt-f.org/contre-la-casse-de-l-assurance-chomage-...
"Même si le gouvernement Ayrault et les directions syndicales s’y opposent timidement à ce jour, ne nous faisons pas d’illusion quant à ces négociations, ce seront les travailleurs qui subiront une fois de plus les conséquences de cette politique de casse sociale qui place les intérêts financiers de quelques-uns au-dessus de l’intérêt de ceux qui produisent : près de 40 000 chômeurs sont radiés chaque mois, la moitié des chômeurs ne perçoivent pas d’indemnités, radiations à gogo sont le quotidien de milliers de personnes. La chasse aux précaires est ouverte !"
