The publication in recent days of the profits of the LVMH group, of which Louis Vuitton is a part, has finished annoying employees. A profit of 12 billion euros for this luxury group, up 156%.
The Louis Vuitton workshops employ more than 900 people in Drôme-Ardèche on four sites: Sarras, Marsaz, Beauvoir-en-Royans and Saint-Donat-sur-l’Herbasse.
A monthly increase of €130 for employees
The management’s proposal to increase salaries by €130 goes badly in view of the group’s profits. It should be added that Louis Vuitton is starting negotiations on the annualization of working time: a project in which there would be imposed “holiday” times.
The CGT is asking for a salary increase of €350 per month and an increase in certain bonuses.
There had been no social movements in this company for 5 years but the dialogue with management is becoming difficult, explains the union.
