The construction industry asks the public authorities to allow their 1,4 million employees to have a hot lunch

Construction companies welcome, train and employ nearly one million four hundred thousand employees. While winter conditions are gradually settling in the country, sheltering their employees during lunch time, allowing them to take their meals warm is for all business leaders and craftsmen, a essential stake.

For several months, the French Building Federation, the National Federation of Public Works and their networks of local federations have not stopped alerting the public authorities to the absolute need to allow employees to have lunch in a closed and heated place: to allow them access to road restaurants, such as transport employees, allow the opening of municipal halls, gymnasiums, open access to CFA canteens in compliance with health rules ... pragmatic solutions exist.

For Olivier Salleron, president of the FFB, “For this second confinement, the building was considered an essential economic activity. So providing our companions with satisfactory conditions and allowing them, when they wish, to have a warm lunch in compliance with sanitary rules, contributes to their comfort but also to an activity carried out in safety. "

For Bruno Cavagné, president of the FNTP, “Since the start of the health crisis, public works companies and their employees have adapted, responded to the needs of territories and citizens in terms of infrastructure and will continue to do so. Today, we are simply asking for pragmatism to ensure restoration conditions adapted to the period. "
