Overview
- Maison Broussaud, a sock manufacturer in Haute-Vienne, is paying a one-time €600 net bonus this month to help employees with fuel and living costs.
- The owners say 2025 results made the payout possible after reporting about €7 million in revenue and roughly €500,000 in results.
- The company estimates the gesture will cost about €68,000 including charges, which it frames as a targeted aid rather than a wage increase.
- Coverage differs on how many workers receive it, with Franceinfo and TF1 citing 64 staff and Le Parisien reporting 67.
- Staff face long car commutes with no public transport near the Les Cars plant, and another local firm says the move prompted it to plan its own smaller fuel bonus.
