Newsletter #118 – Value sharing bonus, CSE of October 28 in brief, Did you know?, 5th F3C Côte d’Azur Union Congress

Value sharing bonus. Opportunity to cope with the inflation and the increase in the cost of life.

During the October 28 CSE meeting, the Amadeus CFDT, again, challenged Management on the advisability of allowing its employees to benefit from the exceptional measure of a sharing value (PPV)⁣ premium⁣ put in place by the government.

Many companies take into account the consequences of inflation on the daily lives of their employees. The media report it extensively. Some companies have offered pay raises, others, bonuses, and many both. Airbus has recently announced the payment of a bonus of up to 1,500 euros to employees.

At Air France, salary increases and the payment of a bonus have been made, despite the great financial difficulty the company is going through.

Question: Does Amadeus SAS intend to pay a bonus before the end of 2022 to compensate for the exceptional inflation and skyrocketing energy prices and will the company also benefit from the PPV scheme, a temporary scheme allowing the company to pay a bonus which may go up to 3000 euros, exempt from charges and not taxable for a majority of the employees? Alternatively, how does Amadeus SAS intend to help its employees absorb this price increase? 

The Amadeus SAS management replied that it did not intend to pay PPV to employees. The company refers to the NAO Mandatory Annual Negotiations and indicates that it had communicated, in 2022, on the exceptional mechanism for unlocking employee savings in 2022 ⁣⁣set up by the government.

This position is not acceptable in the current economic context when the group is posting excellent quarterly⁣⁣⁣ financial results (published on November 4). Using our savings to meet day-to-day expenses does not seem fair or equitable to us.

We remain mobilized for the next NAO and are more attentive than ever to the fair sharing of the value created by the collective work. 

Update: CSE of October 28.
