PARIS, (Reuters) – Most of the French unions of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ) have rejected a proposed company pay schedule for 2022. However, one union representative said Tuesday that they are not planning to protest the proposal.

To compensate for the sharp increase in French inflation, a group of major unions proposed an additional 5 percent. The CFE-CGC Management Staff Union was the only one to sign the company’s request for a 3.5% general raise starting on June 1. According to union sources.

Jean-Francois Berot of the SUD union stated that while this proposal would be a great idea in any year, it is not now.

According to union sources, there might be some demonstrations in the days or weeks ahead. However, no strike has been announced at this time. Sources say that Amazon might open negotiations on specific contract issues within the next few days. But, even without a union agreement, Amazon will still implement its June proposal.

Officials from the company did not respond when asked.

Amazon stated in April that it proposed wage increases exceeding the average increase (increase), of Transport and Logistics in France.

The company threatened to reduce its offer to 3 percent if no agreement was reached by Tuesday. However, Amazon decided to keep the offer of 3.5%. Morgane Boulard (CFDT union member) said the proposal will be approved, though without approval from the majority of unions.

Staff walkouts triggered by a dispute about pay in April affected all 8 logistics centres in France.

Amazon France employs approximately 26,500 workers, with about 14,500 being permanent.
