Why It Matters
Unions are demanding wage increases in the face of inflation. A social conference was recently held in Matignon.
The number 1 of the CGT, Sophie Binet, called on Monday “all employees, retirees, young people” to make November 17 a new major day of strike and demonstration, at the end of the social conference held in Matignon.
An inter-union in the public service had already called for mobilization and a strike next Tuesday to demand in particular salary increases, according to a press release released on Monday. “As long as wages do not increase, as long as we do not have a response to our demands, the mobilization will continue. Now, negotiations must open everywhere. They must lead to salary increases,” declared Sophie Binet.
