After weeks of negotiations between the French government and unions, health care workers will get about $208 a month more in their paychecks. This year's Bastille Day celebrations are also being used to thank those on the front lines of the pandemic.

After seven weeks of negotiations between the French government and unions, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced the agreement to provide $8.5 billion in raises, averaging about $208 a month for nurses and healthcare workers. The move comes as France is using Bastille Day to honor nurses, ambulance drivers, supermarket cashiers and others whose services have been vital during the COVID-19 pandemic.

That’s how you do it Donny

While in the United States of America rapid test kits given to the state of Florida to use we’re testing positive for coronavirus at a 98% positive rate while in truth it should have shown only 7% positive, for real news you have to look beyond NPR

Health care workers -“Given a raise”- what a foreign concept!

What does the current paycheck amount to? The amount before the $208 were added

Interesting how healthcare workers on the dangerous front lines briefly got praise from trump. He flew some planes over them. He then silenced the CDC, has no plan, did nothing to supply PPE, downplayed the threat, pooh-pooped masks, discredited experts....filled hospitals.

Cool cool. Our nurses are reusing their PPE, because they don’t know when they’ll get more so...we’re doing pretty good too! 🇺🇸🤦‍♂️

Communist dictator (murdered millions) Mao Zedong's dictum & the slogan of Chinese Communist Party - 'women hold half of the sky'. Sleepy Joe Biden's rhetoric in a fundraiser - 'Women hold half of the sky'.

And the price of medical care will go up $208 a month

Damn they deserve more

That’s it!

More unjustified enrichment for a privileged class. More welfare being doled out.

jentaub And my niece is in France, I'm glad she's helping this pandemic! FeteNationale

God, it must be nice to live in a count that’s actually run by adults.

I believe every 'essential' worker deserves hazard pay.

What a concept!

And yet a Catholic church got over a billion $. WTF are you doing America ?
