Covid-19: Medef opposes the option of compulsory teleworking – Franceinfo

The Medef is opposed to teleworking being made compulsory, declared, Tuesday, November 23, Geoffroy Roux of Bézieux. “We must let the local social dialogue take place”, justified the president of Medef on BFMTV-RMC, adding that“There are a lot of companies that have signed agreements.”

“Business leaders can remobilize themselves on teleworking, but no obligation”, added the leader of the first French employers’ organization. He considers that the decision taken by Belgium in the face of the resurgence of the epidemic to make telework compulsory four days out of five wherever possible “is an error”.

According to Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, teleworking “sometimes creates a feeling of incomprehension and frustration for those who cannot telecommute”. “I see a lot of industrial companies which ask their administrative executives not to telework to create a feeling of equality between those who are posted on the chain or elsewhere and those who can telework”, he explained.
