Charles Consigny : "Il y a toute une classe politique qui est même l'adversaire du travail !"

A study published this Monday by Le Figaro shows that French employees work significantly less than their German counterparts. Should we catch up? The GG panel discusses this. For Flora Ghebali, the issue isn't so much the amount of work, but rather the strategy and direction to take. Charles Consigny is much more down-to-earth: we simply don't work enough in France. For Yves Camdeborde, who considers the 35-hour workweek a failure, the problem doesn't lie with those who work, but with those who don't. Flora Ghebali: "The issue isn't how much we work. We no longer have industry, farmers, or public services... We really need to ask ourselves what the French economic model is." Charles Consigny: "Everywhere else in the world you find shops open in the evening, at lunchtime, and on Sundays. Not in France, and that shows the rigidity of our system and that we're against work." Yves Camdeborde: "When you read these studies, you get the impression that the French are lazy. No! We especially need to get those who aren't working to work." 🗣 Clément, business owner: "When I see what my employees cost me... If we were taxed less, they would have better salaries, they would consume more... But it takes political courage and reforms." 00:00 The French work less than the Germans 1:45 Flora Ghebali: "The problem is knowing what we want to work for" 3:25 Yves Camdeborde: "The 35-hour week has devalued the work ethic" 5:45 Charles Consigny: "We are against work in France" 13:00 Christine on 3216: "Let's put the unemployed back to work" 16:00 Alain on 3216: "We need a return to the 40-hour week" 21:00 Clément on 3216: "I'd like to hire more people, but we're taxed too much" 🎙 Les Grandes Gueules is the talk show for freedom of expression, hosted by the duo Alain Marschall and Olivier Truchot.
