The announced end of government support for economic sectors weakened by the Covid crisis should not translate into new sacrifices demanded of employees, worried Thursday the Secretary General of Force Ouvrière, Yves Veyrier.

"I'm a little worried: when the Minister of the Economy says that the + whatever it costs + it's over, at the same time the Medef responds that the future president will have to raise the retirement age, that the reform of unemployment insurance must come into force on October 1, that it will be necessary to work longer, "enumerated Mr. Veyrier on France Info.

Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Wednesday that the government would stop supporting all economic sectors.

During the health crisis, "we did not count public money because it was responsible for doing so. But now that the French economy is restarting, that we have growth prospects at 6%, whatever. it costs it's over, "said Mr. Le Maire at the Medef meeting of French entrepreneurs.
