Every day, in the Doubs, thousands of technicians and workers at the Sochaux site start their working day very early in the morning, at 5 a.m., before the end of the curfew.
However, workers usually go to two bakeries near the factory, which had continued to open at 3:30 a.m., despite the current ban for businesses to welcome customers before 6 a.m., reports
Le Parisien
.
Until an intervention of two agents of the prefecture comes to call them to order.
An intervention deemed ubiquitous by the unions of the factory who quickly seized the case.
Force Ouvrière (FO) has formulated an official request to reopen the two bakeries, one located in Sochaux and the other in Montbéliard.
The union believes that it is unfair to deprive employees of their morning snack: pastries and other sandwiches.

With the
Parisian
, the elected believes that the closure of the two bakeries does not "
respect the work
" of the workers of the factory, and he recalls that the drivers of heavy goods vehicles, "
have the right to stop on motorway stations to eat
”.
The bakeries concerned are also affected: “
We have around 150 people who come by before 6 am, before going to work.
They take pastries but also sandwiches that they eat during their lunch break.
For us, it's a big loss and for the workers, it means going to work without eating,
”says
the manager of one of the two businesses
to the
