PARIS—Most unions at U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon’s French arm rejected the company’s 2022 pay proposal on the final day of talks, but no immediate industrial action is planned, union representatives said.

A group unions had proposed a 5 percent pay increase to compensate for a sharp rise in inflation in France. The company, meanwhile, offered a 3.5 percent general increase from June 1, with only the CFE-CGC management union accepting the terms, union sources said.
