In 2022, people paid the minimum wage will have to be content with the automatic increase in their wages.
"We are not going to do a boost" in addition to this increase of 0.9% expected in January to offset inflation, confirmed Thursday on CNews Elisabeth Borne.
The Minister of Labor points out that in one year, the minimum wage "will have increased by 3.1%" to stand at 1,603 euros gross monthly, or "48 euros more per month".
"We have a system that is unique in the world, which is very protective for employees at the minimum wage since it provides for an automatic adjustment taking into account inflation," she said.
Economists would not recommend this aid
The Minister defended "the choice, since the start of the five-year term, to increase purchasing power by increasing the activity bonus (and) by removing certain contributions, to increase income without weighing on the cost of labor, this who can destroy jobs ”. "This is what leads us to follow (the) economists specializing in minimum wage, who do not recommend a boost," she added.
Elisabeth Borne however promised to "continue to put pressure on the professional sectors which have a certain number of levels in their salary scales which are below the minimum wage", citing as an example hotels, cafes and restaurants which employ "more than 800,000 employees ".
A "negotiation meeting" in this sector is scheduled for Thursday afternoon and the minister "counts on the employers' organizations to find an agreement with the trade unions".
