For the time being, the government's response to the crisis of purchasing power is focused on the smic, at the risk of accentuating the feeling of downgrading the middle classes. I might as well try to extinguish a fire by cracking a match, according to the journalist at the "World" Béatrice Madeline.
The French economy is bogged down. Half of the French pull the devil by the tail. The Minister of Labour Jean-Pierre Farandou could therefore give a boost to the Smic. But the unions also demand flash branch negotiations realising wages on prices, which grow by 3.4%, in annual pace.
Will Thursday be the highlight of a very hot social autumn? First disruptions related to strikes took place in the morning before the demonstrations for wages and purchasing power, at the call of all the unions, who are asking the government for concrete answers.
As the inter-union calls to strike this Thursday, November 5th to demand immediate salary increases, real wages stagnate in the private sector and fall back among executives. Faced with the constraints of the budget, the government must arbitrate between revalorisation of the Smic, recasting of the burdens and pressure on the negotiations of branches.
The question of wages will be at the heart of the demands of the unions calling for mobilization this Thursday, November 5. To bring down anger, the government plans to revalue the smic, at the risk of further compacting the wage pyramid.
