This Tuesday, November 30, the management of Leroy Merlin received the unions at the head office in Lezennes, after an unprecedented social movement. For 10 days, company employees have been blocking warehouses and stores. The management of Leroy Merlin spoke all day with the inter-union to agree on the increase in wages.
An increase of 65 euros for employees and supervisors
This Tuesday evening, at 10 p.m., the meeting was still in progress. The unions obtained an increase of “65 euros“ and no longer “40 euros“for employees and supervisors. As a reminder, three weeks ago, the inter-union CFDT-CFTC-CGT-FO had refused the general salary increase of 2% proposed by management, with a minimum of 40 euros, lower than the inflation rate of 2.6% measured at the end of October by INSEE year on year.
The management of Leroy Merlin, this Tuesday evening, is proud of this agreement: “To guarantee the purchasing power of our employees, as we have always done, we have proposed a _additional increase of € 25, effective on January 1, for all of our employees, employees and supervisors_. “ According to the management of Leroy Merlin, an increase is added to that of € 40 negotiated during the NAO last October: “it responds to the sudden rise in inflation seen in recent weeks. “
It is a victory for the unions which hoped for a rise in wages especially for the most precarious jobs, as explained by Karim Bachiri, of the CGT: “The movement we led is paying off today. What we did not achieve on November 9, and thanks to the mobilization today we are successful. We did not arrive at the 80 euros increase but this is already a step forward and discussions on revaluation policies remain open. “
The Macron bonus is doubled for employees
Negotiations between the management of Leroy Merlin and the intersyndical also make it possible to increase the Macron premium from 100 to 200 euros for employees. For the management, thanks to this increase in the state bonus: “our employees will benefit from an increased salary of more than 1000 euros. ”
Finally, the management of the DIY brand is committed to putting in place next March an observatory to recalculate the increase in wages according to inflation.
