Walkout for salaries at Capgemini France – Le Figaro

An inter-union bringing together six organizations called Thursday for a one-hour walkout in the French part of the computer giant Capgemini, to protest against the weakness of the salary increases proposed in this very profitable group. According to Frédéric Boloré, CFDT central union representative, “from 1,500 to 1,800 people showed their support in one way or another” for this movement Thursday between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., in this group which employs around 25,000 employees in France (excluding workforce of Altran, recently acquired by Capgemini).

According to the inter-union CFDT-CGT-FO-Unsa-Solidaires-Usapie, the management of Capgemini has proposed “around 3 million euros” in collective measures in the mandatory annual negotiations. Net profit up 21% in 2021 Management also granted 42 million euros in individual increases, but “more than 6 out of 10 employees” will not benefit from them, according to the inter-union. At the same time, the dividend proposed at the next general meeting of shareholders in May increases by 23%, to 2.40 euros per share, she recalls. Capgemini made a net profit up 21% in 2021 to 1.16 billion euros, and the group plans to distribute a total of 414 million euros in dividends for 2021. But only part of this profit is made in France, since the group only generates 21% of its turnover in France. Asked by AFP, the management of Capgemini indicated that the group was “committed to maintaining a good quality social dialogue”.
