File photo dated September 16, 2016 shows Michelin campus in Cebazat, near Clermont-Ferrand, France. After realizing that the minimum wage in its home country left some workers at breaking point, French tire-maker Michelin has taken matters into its own hands to give employees a hefty pay raise. Michelin is rolling out its own living wage to its 132,000 employees, the company said in a press release shared with Fortune and first reported by French publication Le Figaro.

The calculation for the living wage was also made based on what employees needed to provide for their family’s “essential needs.” Photo by Soudan E./ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM
