Before his general policy speech to the National Assembly this Tuesday, pressure continues to mount on François Bayrou. The number one of the CFDT Marylise Léon in turn stepped up to the plate on Monday evening, estimating that the announcement of a suspension of the pension reform by the Prime Minister would be “a signal that a lot of workers are waiting for” .

The question of senior employment
“I think the government must announce, via its Prime Minister tomorrow (Tuesday), that the reform is suspended. I think this is a signal that a lot of workers are waiting for, saying to themselves: “here we are considered, here we are getting down to business and we are finally going to try to find concrete solutions for our situations”” , she insisted.
In terms of financing, “there is a subject that is relatively little discussed, it is the question of employment of seniors”, according to Marylise Léon. “Today, we have a lot of workers who tell us: 'I would like to be able to continue working until I'm 64, but I'm being kicked out before then.' The question of senior employment is not a small subject. We are increasing the employment of seniors by 10 points, we are resolving the question of revenue,” she continued. She will know this Tuesday if she was heard by Matignon.
