According to French media Le Marin, CMA CGM, the third largest liner company in the world, will issue a year-end bonus of 10 weeks' salary (about two and a half months) to all employees, including seafarers, .
CMA CGM CEO Rodolphe Saadé (Rodolphe Saadé) recently announced at a year-end party with employees that the bonus was higher than last year (CMA CGM’s 2021 year-end bonus is 8 weeks’ salary). CMA CGM also signed a general wage increase for sedentary workers a few days ago.
It is understood that eligible employees will receive the bonus in their December 2022 or January 2023 salary. New hires on or before December 1, 2022 will receive a pro-rated bonus based on their length of service with the company this year. CMA CGM said that this move shows that the company attaches great importance to talents. Talents are the company's greatest asset, and it is precisely because of excellent employees that CMA CGM can achieve such excellent performance.
On November 25, CMA CGM announced its third quarter results of this year. Data show that in the first three quarters of this year, CMA CGM achieved total revenue of US$57.61 billion, EBITDA of US$27.61 billion, and net profit of US$21.84 billion, all of which have exceeded the US$55.98 billion, US$23.10 billion and US$17.89 billion for the whole year of 2021. Dollar.
Seeing this, some readers may ask, is the two and a half months salary worth mentioning as a year-end bonus? In the article "The Year-end Bonus of 60 Months of Salary, This Time It Will Really Explode" released by the port circle (ID: gangkouquan) some time ago, it not only pointed out that the year-end bonus of Evergreen Shipping this year may be equivalent to 60 months In addition, the total bonus of Yang Ming Shipping is expected to exceed 40 months’ salary. Although Wanhai’s 10-month year-end bonus of last year looked ordinary, there were also starting salary increases, parenting allowances, travel allowances, etc. Welfare.
With Taiwan's three heroes leading the charge, CMA CGM's year-end award seems to be just sprinkled water? That really cannot be said. On the one hand, the salary incentive systems of various shipping companies are different, and it is difficult to compare them on a single dimension; You know, because most of the seafarers are signed by the ship management company to serve on the ship, the shipping company usually only targets the land employees who signed the contract with the headquarters when the shipping company pays bonuses. The excitement is theirs, and the crew has nothing.
It is undeniable that, as an important working group in the shipping industry, the crew members risk all kinds of risks and work hard, but they are always neglected. It is inevitable that they have mixed feelings at this time. It is precisely because of this that CMA CGM distributes year-end bonuses to all employees, including seafarers, which has aroused heated discussions. Perhaps with the release of the epidemic prevention situation in the future, it will be difficult for the shipping industry to reproduce the grand scene of the year-end bonus of dozens of months of salary, but we expect that in the development of the shipping industry, the rights and interests of seafarers and front-line port workers can be more Pay attention to.
