The Michelin Group has implemented a 'decent wage' for the entire workforce. Nearly one in five people (17.3%) is today paid the interprofessional growth minimum wage (smic) in the private sector.

The Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, made it one of the key elements of his general policy speech a few weeks later: he wants to “de-emcardify France’s workforce.’
