“We are very far from the mark” after the social conference, regrets the president of the CFTC Cyril Chabanier

“This social conference was necessary but not sufficient”estimated Monday October 16 on franceinfo Cyril Chabanier, president of the CFTC, while Élisabeth Borne threatened the branches with minimums below the minimum wage to revise downwards their exemptions from charges if there is no progress by June, at the end of a Social Conference with the social partners.

“It’s an interesting meeting because it’s the first time we’ve talked about salaries and wages. It was more than necessary given the galloping inflation”, greeted Cyril Chabanier. However, according to him, “this remains very light and we are very far from meeting our demands”.

The president of the CFTC lists the absence of a “boost on the minimum wage” as well as “the absence of an implementation of conditionality for companies which receive public aid”. “There are no concrete measures, only things to come”he also denounced: “It’s good to have avenues for reflection but it’s for things that will be put in place in several months so it doesn’t respond to the urgency.”
