Asked about the situation of seasonal workers, particularly in the tourism, hotel and restaurant sector, who were hit hard, the minister said that "there was a need to take specific action" and that she would "discuss it" with the social partners ” . At the end of last week, the FO federations covering the transport and hotel and restaurant sectors called on the government for "financial security" for the "sacrificed seasonal workers" , unemployed next summer because of the epidemic. "It is clear that we will not have a normal summer , " acknowledged the minister. For the end of the winter season,"We have made it possible to lay off seasonal seasonal workers who have not finished their season . "

"Reflection with the social partners"

Faced with questions about the ongoing reform, the implementation of which has been partly delayed, in its second part, it has constantly referred to "discussions with the social partners" . The government has indeed indicated that "a reflection with the social partners" would be undertaken "to quickly adapt" the rules, "beyond the measures to extend rights already taken" .

Nothing has filtered since then, while unions and associations, such as ATD Fourth World and Secours Catholique, are calling for the abandonment of this reform. With regard to apprenticeship, which risks a sudden stoppage at the start of the next school year, the Minister indicated that it was necessary to "set up a support system" .
