The majority union, the CFDT, had for its part obtained an anticipation of the mandatory annual negotiation (NAO) from October to the end of August. In a leaflet published Monday on its website, it asks management "to open negotiations on wages now". "Despite the wage measures applied by the company from January 2022 (+ 3% general increase) and January 2023 (+ 5.5% for non-managerial employees and between 1 and 3% for executives depending on their eligibility for bonuses), we observe a crushing of wages due to the revaluation of minima following the increase in the minimum wage," writes the union.
