Decathlon's inter-union group has called for a nationwide mobilization of employees on Saturday, June 6th, to demand a pay raise and better consideration of purchasing power. The CFDT, CFTC, CGT, CFE-CGC, and Unsa unions denounce a growing gap between the group's financial performance and the situation of its employees.
The appeal comes a few weeks after the publication of the retailer's 2025 results. Decathlon posted a net profit of €910 million, up 16%, on revenue of €16,8 billion, a 4% increase. The unions believe this success should benefit employees more.
A first unified mobilization in the group's history
According to the CFTC, the company's largest union, this is the first nationwide inter-union call for mobilization at Decathlon. A petition launched at the end of May has reportedly already gathered nearly 1.400 signatures denouncing a decline in purchasing power despite the group's strong performance.
Employee representatives also point to an increased workload, staffing levels deemed insufficient in some stores and warehouses, and growing sales pressure. Present in 82 territories with more than 1.900 stores and nearly 103.000 employees worldwide, Decathlon is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and remains one of the French people's favorite retailers.
