And if we finally sat down to the table?

In theory, there is still one week of paid leave to be taken for employees under the 2019/2020 accumulation, but if during a sick leave the employees do not accumulate paid leave, what happens when they are totally on partial unemployment by the will of the government?

Is it up to companies to pay this week of paid leave corresponding to the administrative closure by the State from March 16 to June 1, 2020?

While the vast majority of employees have taken their four weeks of paid vacation this summer, less than two months from the end of year vacation for which employees have often taken their fifth week, it would be good for the government to get down to work on this burning issue which could lead to an incalculable number of industrial tribunal proceedings.

In financial trouble, many of my colleagues are like me in a damn mental and physical state.

For a few days, certainly like them, perhaps because I forced my last weeks on the rope by exceeding my daily dose of 16 hours of work to keep my little boxes afloat, I have neck and neck pain. the right shoulder which makes me suffer day and night, but I will not cost society or social security anything, I have never taken sick leave and it is not going to start now.

One thing is certain, however, if the government continues to pursue such an inconsistent and anti-social policy, that will not prevent me when the time comes to raise my fist.
