ANALYSE – While prices are soaring, the CGT and left-wing deputies are demanding to link the evolution of remuneration to that of inflation.
87% of French people are in favor of indexing wages to inflation, according to an Ifop poll, dating from last week. We understand them: wages are progressing today in France less than prices, about 3% growth for wages against 5% for inflation. Hence a feeling of very strong deterioration in the standard of living and the ardent desire of employees to be increased. A wish to which companies must respond with a certain parsimony. If on an individual basis, an increase is always good news; collectively, they can be deleterious.
