After a social conference with unions and employers on 9 November, the French government announced a 1.6% rise in the SMIC from 1 December, bringing monthly net pay to about €1,502. The CFDT said the decision combined the automatic inflation-linked 1% increase with a 0.6% discretionary rise and remained below workers’ expectations, while welcoming a proposal to link some employer contribution relief to wage negotiations. The CGT, with other unions, called for a public- and private-sector strike on 17 November, saying the measures did not meet demands for wider wage and pension increases.
