Major French unions: current pay rise offer in logistics sector is unacceptable

PARIS – Major French trade unions said in a joint statement on Friday that a proposed pay rise for workers in the logistics sector was “unacceptable” and that they had ended wage talks on the topic.

The unions, which included the likes of the CGT, CFDT and FO (Force Ouvriere), added they would not hesitate to use “all means necessary” to exert pressure on company executives to come up with a better pay offer.

Rising inflation has eroded wage increases for many workers across the world.
