Salaries: many increases planned for early 2022, according to the president of Medef

There are, I think, a lot of companies that will increase wages, because, first of all, wages in 2020 and 2021 have not been increased much, because there is inflation, and because it is difficult to recruit

There are company agreements, there are negotiations.

There are, at the moment, 57 branches that are negotiating and there will be a lot of negotiations at the start of the year,

What reminds me is the fact that private sector employees are waiting, after two years of effort, for their fair reward,

there will be significant salary increases in the catering industry, I think, because there is a negotiation that is underway

the problem behind it is that we must be able to increase prices

The good news is that the 2021 results for companies will be very good and therefore, mathematically, participation and profit-sharing - which only cover 50% of employees - will increase

lot of bonuses - what has been called the Macron bonus (tax-free, editor's note) - which will be paid to many companies

salary increase trap

each time you increase salaries, in the form of 'overtime or increase (in hourly wages), the premium decreases

it's a good short-term solution because it helps maintain purchasing power, but it's a bad long-term solution

the calls for tenders which are made by the State, and it must also be said by large companies, are always on the price

get out of the low-cost economy
