The figures cited — 1,500 euros net, 100 to 120 euros missing, 2 to 2.5%, 15 euros for 25 employees — frame the debate without settling it. Among the demands of the Thursday, November 5 mobilization is a very concrete expectation: earning more to make ends meet.
Companies should favor individual raises for 2027, between 2 and 2.5% on average, mainly in industry and human resources.
Employers have been challenged during recent mobilizations: more pay means more purchasing power.
The gap between this range and the shortfall described by the employee remains clear, on a monthly scale.
An employee, Samir, has three years of seniority in a company and a salary slightly above the Smic, of about 1,500 euros net per month.
The November 5 sequence thus set a demand for immediate purchasing power against projections of individual raises for 2027.
One employer did the math: that amounts to 15 euros net more per month in the pockets of his 25 employees.
