"

We must legislate on instructions that allow everyone to have a minimum of guarantees,

" defended the union leader on France 2, referring to office equipment, meals, or even internet access. Philippe Martinez believes that "

nothing has been settled

" with the national interprofessional agreement (ANI) of November 26, 2020, signed in the private sector by the social partners - with the exception of the CGT - and which is not binding for employers. "

These are recommendations, and therefore in each company, the employers do what they want,

"

he

laments.

LREM deputy Frédérique Lardet tabled a bill on November 16 aimed at creating a “

teleworking title

”, so that the employer bears part of the costs linked, for example, to the purchase of equipment.

This flat-rate allowance would be capped at 600 euros per year and per employee, and exempt from social contributions and contributions and tax.

"

It is better to increase salaries, face-to-face or teleworking,

" replied the secretary general of the CGT when asked about this proposal which has almost no chance of succeeding by the end of the legislature.
