Social anger: the inter-union will decide on the follow-up to the mobilization after Monday's meeting in Matignon
The unions are invited at the start of the week for a “social conference” organized by the Prime Minister.
The inter-union organization behind Thursday's day of demonstrations will decide on the continuation of the mobilization at the end of the social conference organized Monday, November 9 by Matignon, she indicated this Friday, November 6. She also deplored the absence of meetings for civil servants and young people. “The union organizations repeat it, the only thing that will stop the mobilization is the response to the demands made for several weeks by employees, civil servants, young people and retirees,” write the CFDT, the CGT, FO, the CFE-CGC, the CFTC, the Unsa, the FSU and Solidaires, the day after a national day of social mobilization for wages.
The unions claim a participation of more than 1.5 million people - the authorities have identified 575,000 demonstrators. At least 100 euros more for the minimum wage “See you Monday evening,” declared CFDT general secretary Marylise Léon on RTL, when asked about the follow-up to the mobilization.
“The demonstration and the scale of the demonstration yesterday (Thursday) must encourage the government to understand that it cannot wait for the presidential election,” added the head of the first French union, which is demanding an increase of 100 euros net monthly in the minimum wage. Marylise Léon is also asking the government to "evaluate and conditional aid" for businesses, for which there is "no sufficient evaluation" according to her. Thursday evening, the Prime Minister's services indicated that they would bring together union and employer organizations on Monday for a "social conference" in order to "provide answers to the questions of purchasing power and wages."
The inter-union press release also denounces “the unacceptable obstacles to the exercise of the right to demonstrate” on Thursday, via “bans and route modifications” and “the repression of demonstrations in Toulouse and Lyon”. Providing “all their support to the injured activists and demonstrators”, the unions are demanding that light be shed on these events.
