Let’s try typing somewhere other than in restaurants
The president of the UMIH in the Landes, the Union des métiers de l’hôtellerie, is against this measure in restaurants. “Identity checks are the responsibility of the police and there is a police check because if it does not correspond, we must say no and ban entry. When we asked the police to go and check the establishments, the unions said that they did not have time, but we must have time.“, indignant Alain Bretelle.
The bill will be in Parliament in January
“We understand that everyone is looking for a solution to stop this epidemic but once again, it falls on us. Let’s try typing somewhere other than in restaurants“, considers the boss of the UMIH 40.
