Because the starting of the coronavirus epidemic in France, the answer of
telecommuting is a type of put ahead by the federal government to stem the unfold of Covid-19.
This way of working has therefore become the rule to follow. scrupulously by personal and public employers. In Wasquehal, close to Lille, within the North, the mayor has however determined to do the other and reserves teleworking for brokers who need to take care of their youngsters.
From October 2020, regarding teleworking, the federal government spokesperson, Gabriel Attal, assured that it will be requested to “the general public service to be exemplary and to use this suggestion”. On March 18, Prime Minister Jean Castex defined that the federal government’s goal is for personal and public employers to telework their staff “a minimum of 4 days out of 5” per week. And through his final televised deal with, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, had matched his choice to reconfine France to, specifically, a measure of “systematic teleworking”.
FALSE
A rule that the city corridor of Wasquehal doesn’t appear to need to respect. In an inner electronic mail despatched to “administrators and managers of departments” by the director common of city corridor providers, it’s written: “Brokers at present positioned in teleworking, even part-time and who haven’t any on-call responsibility youngsters, should come again in full-time face-to-face as of Tuesday April 6 ”.
But the Ministry of Labour could be very clear on the query: “So long as the actions permit it. Within the present distinctive circumstances, linked to the specter of the epidemic, teleworking have to be generalized for all of the actions that permit it ”. There isn’t a longer even a query of alternating face-to-face and distant work: “the working time carried out by teleworking is elevated to 100% for workers who can carry out all of their duties remotely”, the ministry nonetheless insists. This isn’t the spirit of the Wasquehal DGS electronic mail.
The mayor pleads for the continuity of the general public service
On the city corridor, we plead for the continuity of public service: “Workplace duties are within the minority. There stays the reception of the general public, as a result of all our providers are open. The inexperienced areas or the brokers who work on the vaccination middle ”, we clarify to 20 minutes. Besides that teleworking doesn’t solely concern so-called workplace duties: “Workers working in professions which appear a priori not ” teleworkable ” can however work remotely to hold out a part of their actions”, specifies specifically the ministry work.
In response to the city corridor of Wasquehal, 77 of its brokers are at present teleworking out of the 470 staff of the town, that’s to say rather less than 17%. For instance, the town of Roubaix estimates that round 70% of its workforce in the present day profit from the teleworking measure. Opponents of Unis pour Wasquehal guarantee that this remedy can be reserved for elected officers: “The municipal council and the preparatory conferences are 100% face-to-face, no videoconference, no technique of expressing themselves remotely”, they denounce.
