"The solutions cannot simply be the head of state," said the employers' representative about the policy to be followed on ski resorts, in the Europe1 / Les Échos / CNEWS interview.
The question on this point must be addressed by "a real discussion between professionals, doctors, scientists (...) and the government to find the solution", declared the boss of the bosses.
"Anyway", even if the stations do not reopen for Christmas, "there will be a health protocol to be put in place" for the reopening scheduled for January, he continued.
When decisions "fall from the sky", they "are not accepted"
In general, when decisions "fall from the sky", they "are not accepted", said the representative of Medef, according to whom the closure of shops in November was a "mistake" of the government.
Conversely, the employers and the social partners were able to negotiate "in three weeks" an agreement on teleworking, noted the union official.
This agreement recalls that "yes, there are responsible actors and that not involving them in decisions would be a mistake", he said.
Saturday, the president of Medef had pleaded with AFP to conduct discussions "sector by sector", in collaboration with specialists in the world of health, to be able to reopen sectors still closed due to the pandemic.
“You have to do microsurgery: sports halls, cinemas, restaurants ... How do you do it, what is the protocol?
I believe that professionals are ready to find the solution, ”argued the boss of Medef.
