France's Social Conference on Wages: What to Expect

actu.fr (French) —

The French government will hold a social conference on wages and purchasing power Monday at Matignon, convened by Sébastien Lecornu following nationwide strikes and protests on November 5. The conference aims to address salary concerns, with unions demanding a substantial minimum wage increase. CFDT seeks a 100-euro net raise, while CGT demands a 10 percent hike and wage indexation to prices. Labor Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou said a minimum wage increase is "not taboo" but warned of employment impacts. The minimum wage hasn't received an extra boost since 2012, beyond automatic inflation adjustments.
