Pierre-Jacques Laskar, the boss of the company Laskar Immobilier, in Le Creusot (Saône-et-Loire), did not go with a dead hand. “When I saw the chances of a very high abstention, I said to myself that something had to be done and that I could do it at my level. So I announced to my fourteen employees that they will receive a bonus of 50 euros per vote. 50 for the 1st round and 50 for the second round. »
Each employee who will justify two votes will therefore have a bonus of 100 euros on his April salary. “For the company, this corresponds, with the charges, to an additional cost of just over 2,000 euros. If you can please by encouraging civic-mindedness, that’s perfect. Above all, I hope that this will create emulation and that other entrepreneurs will do the same,” adds the real estate agent.
Its employees welcomed the decision with pleasure. “I informed them all by email. They struck quickly telling me that it is a good idea. I sincerely think that everyone will vote for both rounds. That’s the point. »
Employed for 36 years, Florence Fedele is really delighted: “I have always done my duty since I was 18 years old. So an extra bonus is extra. Above all, I think it’s a very good initiative. Faced with abstention, we must not remain idle. I hate to hear people say If we had known, while they are not going to vote. For me, it is a duty. As proof, my husband, of Italian origin, who was not always happy with the results, obtained French nationality after two years of procedures and this Sunday, he will vote”.
Pierre-Jacques Laskar is obviously happy with the very good reception of his proposal. Last September, with his cap as president of the fair committee, he welcomed Anne Hidalgo, who had just been declared a candidate, at the Creusot Fair. But, neutrality requires, he had not accompanied her in the pits.
