In Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin), a hundred employees demonstrated on Tuesday, September 27 at the call of the CGT to denounce the Stellantis bonus, reports France Bleu Alsace. The strike movement is due to continue on Wednesday. The site has nearly 6,000 employees.
For the union, this bonus is “a scam”. The fundamental problem is the increase in wages: “We’ll take this bountyexplains to France Bleu the CGT delegate Salah Keltoumi, but the prices will continue to rise, and then in three months we start again, we ask for another bonus? No, wages need to be raised.”
Stellantis announced on Tuesday the payment of a bonus in October to help its employees cope with inflation. A bonus of up to 1,400 euros, reserved for employees earning up to twice the minimum wage. On the other hand, the management of the automobile group does not plan to increase wages, which the unions demanded, which therefore organized walkouts in several factories in the country.
