Nathalie Arthaud defends the establishment of a minimum wage of 2,200 euros net per month, "an essential measure" so as not to live "with fear in my stomach, the fear of having a health problem, of having one's car break down, of not being able to pay for one's children's studies". The candidate calls on the “world of work to claim its due”. “We want society to be organized differently,” she continues.

Nathalie Arthaud calls on “the workers’ camp” to express itself “with the strength it has in companies”. “It is absolutely unacceptable to know that we do everything, [but that] we decide on nothing,” concludes the Lutte Ouvrière candidate.
