the health pass soon compulsory to go to work?

Show your health pass to be able to work. On a construction site in the Paris region, most workers say they are ready for this eventuality. But for the few unvaccinated, on the other hand, the situation is more complicated. The prospect of having to take a test almost every day might convince them. A puzzle especially for the organization of the team, because who says control, says waste of time. “If we have that on top of that, that means that instead of starting at 8 am, if we have a lot of staff, there are people who will not start on time. The construction sites will idle“, says Michel Salmon, Senior Master Journeyman at Tempere Construction.

Yet the measurement is on the desk of the Minister of Labor. During a meeting on Monday, December 20 with the social partners, Élisabeth Borne put forward several avenues. The health pass obligation could be extended to all employees. They would then have to prove a complete vaccination schedule of soon to be three doses, or have a negative test of less than 48 hours. But for companies, this extension of the health pass would be too risky. The employers refuse to assume the burden of controls. More than 25 million employees would be affected by this measure.
