Amazon says it has proposed measures with a “real and concrete impact”, which the CGT considers insufficient, this Thursday during the last meeting as part of the Mandatory Annual Negotiations (NAO) in the midst of protest movements that have affected its sites for several years. weeks.
Amazon France Logistique offered “a salary increase of 7.8% on average”, including the shared value bonus (PPV, ex-prime Macron), detailed its director of human resources, Jon Scott. An increase that Alain Jeault, union representative of the central CGT Amazon, considers “too low compared to inflation.” The latter also believes that the inclusion of the PPV in the salary increase artificially inflates it and that employees will not have it in full if they are “part-time, on sick leave, absent or late”.
“The proposals were well received”
After two years of seniority, from 2025, workers and supervisors will benefit from a bonus of between 2,000 and 4,000 euros per year, continued Jon Scott. This bonus replaces the allocation of free shares. In 2023 and 2024, employees who bought their shares two years earlier will be able to keep them, Amazon argues. This does not replace “the small savings” offered by these shares, according to Alain Jeault. Amazon has also proposed a revaluation of the so-called anniversary bonuses, based on seniority: 1,500 euros after five years, then 3,000 euros at 10, 15, 20 years.
“I cannot predict the signing of the agreement but the proposals have been well received” by the representative unions, said Jon Scott. Among the latter, Sud-Solidaires, CFDT, CGT, CAT and CFE-CGC. “People are not satisfied,” said Alain Jeault, “we were asking for a 10% increase” and “we will not sign the agreement.” His signature is scheduled for April 11.
Protest movements have affected several Amazon sites in France over the past two weeks, in a “convergence of struggles” between the NAO and pension reform. Strike movements, stoppages, blockades, seepage dams had enamelled the daily life of the sites of Boves (Somme), Montélimar (Drôme), Sevrey (Saône-et-Loire), Augny (Moselle). Amazon employs 18,500 people in France.
