Petition Action

The right to wear the coronavirus mask for employees in contact with customers.

Petition Details

Preserve workers' health by using masks. People who work in bars, restaurants, in close contact with the public must wear masks and gloves to preserve their health and limit the infection of the coronavirus.

Additional Information

A friend asked to be able to wear the mask to work in a coffee bar, but her employer sent her home, without pay, to warn her that it would have worried the customers.
Inadmissible for worker protection, especially in this period.
