France proposes making a retail clothing wage amendment binding across the sector
France's Labour Ministry has proposed making a September 2026 wage amendment to the national retail clothing and textile agreement binding on every employer and worker in that sector. The amendment was signed by the national clothing federation, a lingerie retailers' chamber and employee unions linked to the CFTC, CFDT and UNSA. Interested parties have fifteen days to comment, and recognised employer groups have one month to object.

If the order goes ahead, the wage terms agreed in this amendment would apply to all retail clothing and textile shops covered by the agreement, not only to firms that signed it. Workers and employers in that sector would have to follow the same pay rules.
