“Call received on 5/5.” On Thursday, the head of Medef, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, responded favorably to the call launched the day before by Gérald Darmanin urging companies to release their employee-volunteer firefighters to strengthen the system for fighting the fires that are devastating France.
Orange and Carrefour respond to the call
According to France info, the message was received by Orange. The French telecommunications giant will thus relax its rules to release its 135 affected employees. The company has thus announced that these employees will now be able to carry out their activity as volunteer firefighters for more than 15 days a year, contrary to what was foreseen until now in the agreement that it had signed.
For his part, the head of Carrefour, Alexandre Bompard, asked “every store and warehouse manager to release our colleagues who can go as reinforcements for their professional obligations. Immense respect and support to all firefighters.”. “Carrefour is proud to have volunteer firefighters in its ranks,” he added.
