Energy company TotalEnergies announced on Thursday a wage hike and bonus for staff in France, with the French government keen that workers get paid more to cope with inflation.

TotalEnergies said it had agreed a deal with leading French trade unions for a 5% salary increase in France for 2024, and a bonus ranging from 2,000 euros ($2,181) up to 4,000 euros.
