What will the next mobilization day on March 7 be like? Since its announcement, the inter-union has repeatedly recalled its objective in recent days: to paralyze France thanks to massive demonstrations and strikes to support the rejection of the pension reform. Although the bill has just left the National Assembly and is about to be debated by the senators, Laurent Berger does not rule out the use of “other forms of action” in two weeks:
Among these types of “different” initiatives, the CFDT general secretary cited the example of construction workers who wanted to set up operations “without a crane.”
“The CFDT has not changed”
The representative of the main trade union organization in France reaffirmed his hostility to “a pension reform that has gone topsy-turvy” and “disconnected from the realities of work: “We started with “a reform of public finances” to the detriment of the reform labor”. In this sense, he considers that we should rejoice that “union organizations are capable of building the largest social movement since the 1990s in our country” and calls on the Government to be responsible by listening to this challenge.
Laurent Berger also responded to the rhetoric that the CFDT would no longer be faithful to its traditional, decidedly reformist and compromise-oriented line of conduct. “We listened to this little song according to which the CFDT was no longer like before, he pointed with his finger. The CFDT has not changed and it was for a universal pension system and this is not the CFDT that has changed its tone. Today, it is a form of contempt felt by the world of work”.
