The CGT calls for sanctions to enforce equal pay. Sophie Binet, its general secretary, made the statement during a union rally in Paris.

The rally in front of Leroy Merlin was also held in support of a cashier of the brand who was attacked at her post and was sanctioned by management for “not having reacted correctly,” said a CGT union delegate, Imane Haddache. “It’s an evolution of the profession and we are looking for individual solutions with each of the 186 people concerned, and we will take the time to do it throughout 2024,” commented Marc Renaud, communications director at LeroyMerlin.
