A month for that.

Negotiations began a month ago between employers and unions in the hotel and catering sector, as the sector faces a labor shortage at the same time as it is stricken by the coronavirus epidemic.

The employers of the hotel and catering industry announced Thursday evening that they had proposed a new salary scale ensuring a minimum wage 5% higher than the minimum wage, during the second negotiating session.

Umih, the main organization in the sector, the GNI which represents the independents, the GNC (hotel chains) and the SNRTC (thematic and commercial catering) have proposed this new grid which “results in an average increase of 16.33% per compared to the current grid ”, specifies a joint press release.

"I think that there are substantial advances which have been put on the table, I hope that it will succeed", commented on France Inter the Minister of Labor, Elisabeth Borne.

Insufficient for unions

This grid, validated by the entire employer's college, will be signed by the employee unions on Monday and until January 17. It ensures "a minimum remuneration greater than 5% of the minimum wage from the first level of the grid", according to employer representatives, who speak of a "historic effort". "We can not give more in a health context that is hardening, with companies still very fragile, not out of the tunnel: you have to know how to stop a negotiation, we have done the maximum", declared Thierry Grégoire, the negotiator of the 'Umih.

But for the unions, the account is not there.

"The attractiveness of the trades in this sector requires a significant investment as the accumulated delay in terms of remuneration is important," lamented the CGT, the leading union in the branch, in a press release.

"The grid will start at 11.01 euros against 10.57 euros on January 1," lamented Nabil Azzouz, the FO negotiator.

This represents only 4% increase for the 1st level knowing that 80% of the workforce is found in the first two levels ”.

No commitment on the 13th month

Employers' organizations claim to have proposed a "social calendar for the first half of 2022, in order to continue the discussion on the attractiveness of the branch".

But "the employers refused to commit to its content, so we asked the ministry to officially integrate the 13th month, the remuneration for cuts and the Sunday increase," added Nabil Azzouz.

"After 15 years of inconsistent social dialogue, this negotiation is a sad parody intended to endorse the billions of euros in public aid which have kept the sector on a drip for two years", still believes the CGT.
