The inter-union calls on the French to strike and demonstrate this Tuesday, March 28 against the pension reform. Nearly 240 rallies or demonstrations are organized across the country.
The tenth national day at the initiative of the inter-union against the pension reform promises to be very popular in many sectors. CGT, FO, CFDT, FSU, Unsa, CFTC, Solidaires and youth organizations are calling for strikes and mobilization this Tuesday, March 28 across the country. In many cities, demonstrations or rallies are planned.
The inter-union thus organizes nearly 240 demonstrations against the government’s project, which notably provides for the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 years.
Demonstrations across the country
By compiling the information publicly transmitted by CFDT and those listed on local media, BFMTV.com was able to count 238 demonstrations planned against the pension reform.
Between an increasingly mobilized youth and a “radicalization” of certain trade unionists, territorial intelligence is expecting a Black Tuesday, with outbursts similar to those of the 23 mars. For this 10th day of mobilization against pension reform650,000 to 900,000 demonstrators should meet in around 200 French municipalities, including 70,000 to 100,000 people in Paris, provide the information in a note consulted by BFMTV.
These gatherings will have “a physiognomy similar to that of March 23 in terms of blockades, strikes, but also clashes and damage“, they say.
