The bill to transpose the agreement between employers and unions to generalize the sharing of company profits to employees will be presented Wednesday in the Council of Ministers, announced the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt. "I will present this Wednesday the text to the Council of Ministers to ensure that the entire agreement is faithfully and fully transposed into law and give this agreement, force of law," said the minister on franceinfo, Monday. The government is aiming for passage in Parliament this summer. Concluded on 10 February, the national interprofessional agreement (ANI) also aims to widely generalize measures such as profit-sharing, participation and value-sharing bonuses (PPV) to all companies with more than 11 employees, as well as to develop employee shareholding. The agreement was signed by four out of five unions with the exception of the CGT.
During his interview, Olivier Dussopt also announced that he would convene the monitoring committee for wage negotiations on 14 June, with the aim of combating what is presented as a "smicardisation" of salary scales. Against a backdrop of inflation, the idea is to "relaunch these negotiations and ensure that social dialogue is the most productive," commented the minister while the recent mechanical increases in the minimum wage have caused a decline in wage scales in many professional sectors.
