Stellantis’ FO, CFTC and CFE-CGC unions have signed an agreement with management validating a 5.3% increase in payroll for 2023, stakeholders said on Monday. The signatory unions represent 62.4% of French employees, according to the manufacturer. After numerous walkouts in the fall on the French sites, to request purchasing power support measures, the management of Stellantis had put this proposal on the table during the mandatory annual negotiations (NAO) which ended late overnight from Thursday to Friday.
“For an employee paid 2000 euros gross, the increase in remuneration will be just over 100 euros per month from January 1“Said Olivier Lefebvre, central FO union representative at Stellantis. “Being a signatory to the agreement does not mean that it is perfect. It means ensuring that it is implemented to concretely increase our purchasing power.The CFE-CGC said in a press release that “the agreement will also allow for measures that will improve the rules for the distribution of individual increases both in terms of population covered and timing of distribution in 2023“.

The CFDT and the CGT refused the agreement
For the HRD of Stellantis France, Bruno Bertin, “this majority signature demonstrates the maturity of social dialogue within Stellantis and the desire to strike a balance between the promotion of employee commitment and the preservation of the company’s performance“.
CFDT and CGT said they refused to sign the agreement, which does not require majority approval. The overall increase budget to 5.3% “will still leave many Stellantis employees losing purchasing power in 2023. We are far from compensating for inflation at 6.3%“, said the CFDT in a press release.
