Asked in the first place on the 3 500 employees of Uber, which have been referred to it by video conferencing there are a dozen of days, the president of the Medef explained that there was "very definitely of the reasons for that", but that "the form is unacceptable". "The United States have traditions very different from our own, this would be impossible in France," he continued.

social Dialogue

Always on the american multinationals, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux told about the next reopening of the warehouses French Amazon that it was a "good news", that "helps to jump-start the economy". "We talked a lot about Amazon because there has been a problem with the health protocol, he continued. But the large majority of businesses started in France, and the social dialogue has intensified."

the new health rules that must be put in place in the companies, the president of the Medef explained that their cost would be "difficult to evaluate" because it is too different from one sector to the other. "It will mainly be issues of productivity, he continued. When you clean a chain of production, it is no longer produced but it pays the salaries. If it lasts 6 months, businesses will be able to pay, but if we must integrate it into a new mode of production, the whole chain of values that the will pay. I saw that hairdressers are already asking a few more euros to the clients to incorporate these costs."

"there will be layoffs, continued Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux. The application is divided by two in certain sectors, such as aerospace, where the commands are shutdown and production had decreased. It is necessary to find alternative measures (to avoid a wave of social plans, editor's note) : in Germany, there is a part of the salary may be supported by the state and the other by the enterprise during a certain period of time, which allows you to keep the talent in waiting for the recovery. It is necessary to be innovative, one is faced with situations that we do not know."

Work more

Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux has confirmed its proposal to work more "in some sectors", as he had already proposed a month ago. "In business we talk a lot in this time. Obviously it is not working more and earning as much, but by earning more."

Finally, when asked about the possibility of raising the salaries of employees in "front line" in the face of the epidemic (caregivers, garbage collectors, cleansing agents...), the president of the Medef Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux has explained that "it would be a good thing" if only "we could get there".
