🇬🇧 English

This notice says the Labour Ministry is considering making two regional wage agreements binding on all employers and workers covered by the quarry and materials industry collective agreement in Burgundy-Franche-Comté and Occitanie. The agreements set minimum pay for blue-collar workers and ETAM staff, so employers in those regions should check whether their pay scales need to be updated. There is now a 15-day window for comments, and representative employer groups have one month to object before any extension is approved. In practice, businesses in the sector should review the draft wage rates and prepare for possible mandatory application.
