French Minimum Wage Increase Announced3 publishers · first seen Fri, 06 Nov 2026 17:30 UTC · updated Wed, 11 Nov 2026 18:31 UTCThe French government has announced a 1.6% increase in the minimum wage, effective December 1, raising the SMIC to 1,502 euros net per month. This measure, though falling short of union expectations, aims to initiate a cycle of discussions on wage increases. Unions, including the CGT, have criticized the hike, calling it 'crumbs,' and have called for renewed mobilization on November 17. The government hopes that this SMIC revaluation will encourage companies to engage in wage negotiations to improve workers' purchasing power.Content auto-generated. May contain inaccuracies.
