It is for a little better to earn a living that the employees of Leroy Merlin are on strike this morning in front of the warehouse in Valence. Several dozen employees gathered at the call of the inter-union to demand wage increases. Management’s proposals last week were not considered sufficient.
The unions put forward “a record turnover” of the company to justify their demands. The management, during the compulsory annual negotiations (NAO), promised to increase by “2% employees with a minimum of 40 € gross and the doubling of the inflation premium from 100 € to 200 €”. However, inflation is still higher than the rise in wages, indicate the unions.
A national strike movement is planned this Friday, November 19.
