Guest of Bel-RTL’s morning show, the Montois suggested taxing a total of 360 overtime hours per year for these workers, as already exists in the hotel and catering sector, he defended.
He believes that this could be a form of bonus for the effort made by these workers during these difficult times.
Mr. Bouchez also puts forward the idea of allowing workers who are currently forced to temporarily unemployed to seek work in mass distribution in order to make up for any staff shortages.
Asked about the dividends that many companies are preparing to pay to their shareholders this spring, the boss of the French-speaking liberals also said he was in favor of a “liability contribution” on these amounts “beyond a certain ceiling “, Which he did not specify however.
“We do not want this to penalize the middle class, but everyone must make a collective effort” in the face of the current situation, he concluded.
