Our colleagues from France Evening received Nathalie Lepage and Sonia Hamdouchy. These two women are part of the association “Les Blouses Blanches”. The secretary of the group and the caregiver and president of the collective spoke about the reintegration of caregivers suspended for having refused vaccination against Covid-19. “The collective demands the repeal of the law that forced caregivers to vaccinate, as well as the payment of all salaries not distributed since September 15, 2021 to the suspended, then left without compensation or unemployment”, they noted.
If they have been helped by many people, they have come up against difficulties which they have detailed. “As a collective, we were blocked. And Coluche must go back to his grave, several heart restaurants refused us, food collection. We were refused what to give to these suspended who had no treatment , neither aids, nor anything at all whereas they are legitimate”, they said.
According to them, the reason for these refusals lies in the fact that these people were not “vaccinated”. “It’s their fault”, they were told. The Restos du Coeur were not the only ones to close the door to them, according to them, since the Red Cross has adopted the same position. “You can work at the restaurant of the heart and keep your opinion to yourself”, continued Sonia Hamdouchy who deplored the lack of “neutrality”. Several supermarket brands, such as “Auchan and Carrefour” refused to help them, not considering them “legitimate” because of their collective status. In the end, the collective was, somehow, transformed into an Association.
