The four unions of the Auchan group called on the distributor’s employees to demonstrate on Friday March 22. An initiative which takes place after the failure of discussions on increasing their remuneration.
The inter-union is united against Auchan. The group’s four unions called on the distributor’s employees to demonstrate on Friday, March 22, after the failure of discussions on increasing their remuneration. Among them, there is the CFTC, which very rarely calls for action. “Depending on the inflation that occurred last year, it seems necessary to us to have between 4% and 5% increase. The company tells us that it is not currently necessary to increase more than that the salaries”indicates a CFTC unionist.
Losses for Auchan in 2023
According to the CFTC, an employee at Auchan earns on average 1,800 euros gross per month, or around 30 euros above the minimum wage. A situation which would be similar among other competitors. Auchan had reported poor financial results in 2023, with nearly 379 million euros in losses. The brand hopes to bounce back with the purchase of around a hundred Casino brand points of sale.
