INTERVIEW
It's a new habit to take on your return from vacation. From the start of the school year, the mask will be compulsory not only at school, but also at work. Invited last August 24 on Europe 1, the Minister of Labor Élisabeth Borne had specified that this measure would apply "in all workspaces which are closed and shared", such as "meeting rooms, corridors, changing rooms, open spaces ". A measure which risks annoying some French people, but which is nevertheless essential "when one is in contact with other people", points Sunday on Europe 1 Bernard Cohen-Hadad.

"It is irresponsible not to put on" a mask
"I prefer the wearing of a mask to the death of the company, to the resumption of confinement, it is obvious", agrees the president of the Confederation of small and medium enterprises (CPME) Paris Île-de France. "When you are alone in your office, when nobody is there and you open the window, you can do without the mask", but as soon as the workspace is shared, "it is irresponsible not to not put it on. You have to think of others, of the economy. " And if wearing a mask is a good thing, having one "made in France, recyclable and washable is even better", according to Bernard Cohen-Hadad.

Flexibility in measurements
As for the recommendation to telework when possible, the expert is in favor of the measure, but it should not go further. "It should not be imposed," he says. "We must allow those who do not have space at home to be able to come to a company while respecting the distances." A certain flexibility therefore, which Bernard Cohen-Hadad hopes that Élisabeth Borne will demonstrate on Tuesday, during her meeting with the unions.
He also expects from this meeting "common sense, case by case, development, and not lapidary and vertical rules". On Sunday, the Minister of Labor has already hinted that "relaxations" were possible.
