At the end of his interview in Matignon, the general secretary of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, announced “significant mobilizations starting in January” against lowering the legal retirement age.
Elisabeth Borne continued consultations with unions on the issue of pension reform on Wednesday. “The President of the Government confirms that she wants us to work longer,” said the union leader, recalling that the CGT was “resolutely and absolutely” against this measure, whatever its shape.
“We are all determined”
All unions oppose the postponement of the legal retirement age. The CFDT also assured that it would mobilize against lowering the legal age, just like the CFTC or Force Ouvrière.
“We are all determined that this law does not pass […]. I told the Prime Minister that she had achieved a feat: it had been twelve years since all the trade union organizations had united this morning against a reform”, underlined Philippe Martínez. “The President of the Republic has met against him,” she said. .
