Not sure they are being heard.
Forty deputies of all political stripes ask the Prime Minister to study the reopening of restaurants "at lunch, for those who request it", from March 30 and "with adequate sanitary procedures", in a published column by the JDD.
“While some employees can have lunch in their company restaurants, others are forced to eat outside or in their offices: these places are not suitable and do not allow each employee to take a suitable break, to have a reasonable cut in their working day ”, argue the parliamentarians, the deputy MoDem Richard Ramos in mind.

The 42 deputies also believe that "almost all professionals in the sector have always complied with health instructions and implemented strict procedures" since the start of the health crisis.
They also stress that “company restaurants are open at the moment, as well as certain restaurants welcoming construction workers for their lunch break.

"We must therefore quickly reopen these places, even partially"
Reopening all the restaurants would also allow, according to them and "beyond the dramatic financial conditions of professionals and the probable increase in bankruptcy", not to aggravate the shortage of manpower in the sector.
“Those who worked in these establishments are now acting in other sectors.
Many of them do not wish to return to work in the restaurant business.
We must therefore quickly reopen these places, even partially, so as not to lose those who still want to work in restaurants, ”say the signatories.
