Salary negotiations – 2nd meeting: FO will not sign a 6.2% agreement

Salary negotiations continued on Friday March 11, 2022, Management made new proposals as shown in below table where AG stands for General Increases and AI Individual Increases.

In addition, following our demand concerning the need not to put the risk of a possible slippage in inflation on employees, Management proposes to integrate a « review clause » providing for a meeting between February and April 2023 to make an overall assessment (economic and geopolitical situation, results and deliveries in 2022, inflation observed in 2022), with a view to negotiating possible provisions in addition to the agreement.
For FO, given the very uncertain current context, obtaining this crossing point was imperative!

FO considerations

FO takes note of the progress made by Management, but considers them still insufficient. The levels displayed must still evolve in order to:

  • Guarantee the purchasing power of all employees
  • Recognize everyone’s commitment through individual increases
  • Enable career development

In particular, FO asks for:

  • A heel measure on the General Increase to protect the lowest wages.
  • An ambitious promotional campaign at least equal to that of 2021.
  • The return to 2 Individual Increase distribution dates for non-cadres from 2023.
  • A General Increase for IIIBX/IIIC who are also impacted by high inflation levels.

Attached to social dialogue as a major tool of negotiation, FO will not call for a strike as long as discussions with Management remain open: a third meeting will be held on Wednesday March 16!
