Strike and protests across France: unions call for mobilisation
Published
Unions have called on employees and civil servants to strike to defend their wages. The mobilisation affects several sectors and concerns many cities across the country. Trade union organisations are asking the government and employers to respond to demands regarding purchasing power.
The unions also want young people and retirees to join the movement. In several cities, demonstrations are planned to show the population's discontent. The marches may disrupt traffic and public transport, particularly in large cities.
For commuters, the disruptions may be significant during strike days. It is therefore advisable to check the timetables for trains, buses and the metro before travelling. Schools, hospitals and some public services may also operate at reduced capacity.
For now, the government has not yet announced any major changes. The unions say they will continue the mobilisation if their demands are not heard. The next days of action will depend on discussions between workers' representatives and the authorities.
