After posting a record net profit of 16.8 billion euros for 2022, Stellantis announced on Wednesday that it wanted to “share in the fruits of (its) performance” by paying “a minimum of 4,300 euros” to its French employees under the agreement on participation and participation signed with the unions. Or 300 euros more than last year.

The maximum premium will reach 6190 euros.
A guest on BFMTV this Wednesday, Jean-Pierre Mercier, a delegate from South Stellantis Poissy, acknowledged that the amount of the bonus could “seem like an interesting figure for someone who works at Smic.” “But when you go to the mountain of billions (of profits), you understand that management is setting this trap so as not to raise wages,” he lamented.
The CFDT judges for its part that “the management despises the employees and only grants 20 euros more than last year in additional profit sharing. In addition, this supplement should be a single amount for everyone!”. Le syndicat déplore de surcroît that “le goupe va racheter 1.5 billion d’euros d’actions pour faire de la speculation boursière” et réclame “que ces actions soient redistribuées aux salariés dans un plan Accelerate et non détruites comme c’est fait In most cases”.
