The government now knows what to stick to: neither trade unions nor the employers are in favor of the generalization of the health care in companies. Considered to contain the new outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, this hypothesis was put on the table, Monday, December 20, at a videoconferencing meeting between the social partners and Elisabeth Borne.
