Chief Economist
On May 11, 2014, the French newspaper Le Monde published a story about the critique of wage increases that had the head of the Société Radiale, Mr. Gattaz, current chief of the business association MEDEF (Movement of French Enterprises) of 29 %, whereupon he came out to defend that position.
First, he indicates that the increase is divided into two parts, the fixed wage in 3 % and variable wage in 26%, while the wage of his employees increased by 3.3 %, taking it all in consideration the recent French inflation will be around 1% .
The criticism rests essentially on the disparate increase has enjoyed this "boss of bosses " in the French business sector over other workers, which revives the old debate of what should be the determinants of wages .
