A wage agreement was signed on 19 April by Orange SA and the CFDT and FO trade union organisations.

This represents a total budget of 2.1%. This agreement comprises three sets of measures:

• individual increases taking particularly into consideration career paths and efforts made by employees to adapt to the transformation of their activities,
• increases for all, particularly for the lowest salary levels,

On signing the agreement, Jérôme Barré, Executive Director in charge of Human Resources at Orange, said: “ This agreement is fully incorporated in Orange’s ambition to build a company model that is both digital and caring, and that recognizes, both individually and collectively, the contribution of its employees to the company’s results and the transformation of its activities, while taking into account the challenges posed by the current economic climate .”
