the index point will be revalued by 1.5% on July 1, announces the CGT

The index point in the public service will be revalued by 1.5% on July 1, announced Monday the CGT, the first union in the public sector, reporting an announcement made to the unions by the Minister of Public Service and Transformation, Stanislas Guerini. The government received during the day in Paris the eight unions of civil servants to reveal to them the salary measures that it envisages in order to cushion the persistent shock of inflation.

Faced with soaring prices (+5.1% over one year in May, according to INSEE) and especially food products (+14.1%), the unions unanimously demanded a general increase, of varying magnitude. depending on the organization. If they win their case with this revaluation of the index point, the CGT nevertheless denounces a measure “grossly insufficient”even if it should be supplemented by a so-called “purchasing power” between 300 and 800 euros. According to the trade union organization, the latter “would concern only part of the employees”.

While one in five public servants is paid minimum wage, “piecemeal patching is no longer on the agenda”had warned Friday by press release the CGT, the first union in the public sector. “A general revaluation of at least 10%” wages is necessary, demanded for her part Céline Verzeletti, patron of the CGT federation of state officials.
