First broadcast date: December 10, 2020 Hospitals, schools, prefectures—our public services employ nearly 5 million people. Elise Lucet and the Cash Investigation team decided to investigate the practices of France's largest employer: the State. If you thought job security, easy jobs, and guaranteed salaries were guaranteed, think again. What we're about to reveal is far from these clichés. The State has to cut its budgets. To reduce costs, the government is increasingly resorting to subcontracting, particularly in the most sensitive sectors like healthcare. A few months before the coronavirus crisis, Cash Investigation looked into the daily lives of hospital cleaning staff. While they are more than ever on the front lines, their working conditions are alarming. Our journalist, Marie Maurice, got herself hired as a cleaner by one of France's cleaning giants. Her mission: to disinfect the rooms of one of the largest public hospitals in France. And what she discovered there is disturbing: rushed training, grueling work schedules, and a shortage of equipment. In a world where strict adherence to hygiene and the fight against nosocomial infections—those illnesses contracted in hospitals—should be an absolute priority, the use of subcontracting raises serious questions. To save even more money, the government wouldn't hesitate to break the law. Cash Investigation exposes the hidden side of the Civic Service… These tens of thousands of young people receive compensation below the legal minimum wage and do not contribute to unemployment insurance. But in certain government agencies like Pôle Emploi (the French public employment service) or prefectures, these Civic Service volunteers do real work, or sometimes even replace civil servants, which is normally illegal. Cash Investigation is a France 2 program presented by Elise Lucet. Each episode of this investigative program on France 2 offers numerous revelations on sensitive issues… Its investigations delve into the business world and its lesser-known aspects, highlighting potentially abusive marketing practices, the misconduct of large corporations, strategies for misappropriating public funds, tax evasion, lobbying efforts, and even the manipulation of information by communications consultants.
