“We are here to save the public service”

“The majority of Rosies are women in the civil service. We are here to save the public service. The budget cuts in the Region worry us and at the national level, the three days of waiting time for civil servants”

Unions speak out

Public service unions speak before the departure of the procession:

“We denounce the repeated attacks against essential public services. We denounce unacceptable and profoundly destructive reform projects for public services. »

The Sarthe Rosies, dressed in their traditional work overalls, begin a dance to the music of “Le coach”, by Soprano.

“We feel directly threatened for our future jobs”
