“With the state, we propose that 100% of employees who are now teleworking do not return to the office the week of May 11. We want to aim for a goal of 90% the second week, then 80% until the summer. “
“We are currently negotiating with employers’ organizations – Medef, U2P, CPME – a charter in which employers commit to this very gradual return”, ad Mme Pécresse.
