Question 11447 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mr. Christophe Barthès draws the attention of the Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises, Commerce, Crafts, Tourism and Purchasing Power to the need to allow florists to work on May 1st. He was contacted by a florist, owner of several stores in Aude, particularly in his constituency, in Carcassonne. In fact, on May 1, 2025, it decided to open its stores because this date allows it to achieve many sales, while being beneficial for its employees who can work on a voluntary basis, with a higher salary. Just like bakers, florists are eager to work and the numerous checks carried out on May 1st as if they were delinquents are absolutely unacceptable. Let those who want to work freely. The merchant who seized it will be fined. important if it decides to open its stores on May 1, 2026. However, article L. 3133-4 of the Labor Code and the collective agreement contradict each other. The first states that “May 1st is a public holiday”, while the collective agreement authorizes work on the 1st if it is “paid under the conditions provided for by law”. It is urgent to organize now to allow florists to be able to work on May 1st 2026 without being penalized. He asks him what measures he intends to take to allow traders to work and therefore to keep the country's economy running.
