This Thursday 1ᵉʳ-May, the CGT, Solidaires and FSU call to demonstrate “for peace, our pensions and our wages” in more than 250 cities across France.
For wages, for pensions, or “Against the trumping of the world” : Union organizations call for beating the pavement this Thursday for the May 1st, but mobilization is held on scattered watchwords and without a large unit.
Faithful to tradition, the CGT, Solidaires and FSU call for their part to demonstrate “For peace, our pensions and our wages” In more than 250 cities across France. If locally the union centers, such as FO, join certain processions, officially the inter -union will not be united for the occasion.
The leaders of the CFDT and the UNSA will meet from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the center of Paris for a round table.
