"I am going to tell them that the social conference is not a yellow coin operation," insisted Sophie Binet, the general secretary of the CGT, on France Inter, before the meeting organized at Matignon with social partners to try to respond to the social anger expressed for several weeks by unions and youth. "On November 5, we crossed a threshold, with record strike rates, particularly in the public service. Anger is not going to disappear just because the government announces a few extra euros," reacted Sophie Binet. "We know how to count. The minimum wage will automatically increase by 2.2% on January 1, which is about 18 euros. If the government announces a 23-euro increase shortly, that means its boost is 5 euros. In today's context, that's a kilo of tomatoes or a bottle of detergent," estimated the general secretary of the CGT on France Inter. "I think that increasing the minimum wage is a good thing for the economy. All our neighbors who have increased the minimum wage have seen a positive benefit for the economy. Today, we are in recession because people are not consuming anymore, because wages are too low," responded Sophie Binet. #Smic #CGT #AugmentationSalaires (translated)
