The government has spent almost 14 billion euros on civil servant salaries since 2022. General increases in basic salaries cost 9.2 billion euros, according to a document presented to the unions.
The unions are refusing a “blank year” in 2024 and are calling on the 5.7 million public employees to mobilize on Tuesday for their remuneration. The document which was presented to them by the government "cannot constitute a basis for any diagnosis," judge the CGT, FO and CFDT.
