According to the president, the protesters’ anger is not linked to the pension reform but to “work that must be paid for.” And to deal with this problem, he wants to renew the dialogue with the social partners.
Emmanuel Macron, who says he wants to address the injustices that affect work, calls on the social partners to sit down at the discussion table. It is also necessary to “put the social dialogue back on the ground” to improve pay during races, he said.
He promised that the discussion would refer in particular to career development or difficulties, would take place “in the coming weeks” based on a “method” defined in “three weeks, one month”, and would not take the form of “big masses” but of concrete discussions”.
social battle
Since the beginning of the year, the united unions have faced the pension reform that the government approved with the help of 49.3 last week. A cross-party motion of no confidence was narrowly defeated on Monday, allowing the text to finally be adopted.
Its adoption did not calm the street, on the contrary, and a 9th day of inter-union demonstration is scheduled for Thursday, March 23, while impromptu rallies have been taking place since Thursday night in various cities in France with clashes between protesters and police . .
