As recommended by the government, if not on vacation, Parisians (who can) will telework during the Olympic period.
The habit no longer needs to be demonstrated. In 2023, 37.7%* of French people teleworked at least once a week. But, there is no right to telework! It always requires a request followed by an agreement from the employer.
For those who cannot telework due to their activity: will they be able to strike to express their dissatisfaction?
We know the old stereotype that sticks to the French: always on strike! The Olympics are a sporting event but also an opportunity for France to show its best side.
Beyond sports and diplomatic considerations, what does the law say? In principle, as long as it is a collective and total work stoppage and the professional demands have been announced to the management, the strike is legal.
But rather than endure such movements, anticipating the Olympics by involving social partners will prevent a strike movement, even remotely.
