They did not succeed “. Nine days after the 14th and last day of action against the pension reform, the intersyndicale admitted having failed to make the government back down, reaffirmed its unity and called on employees to mobilize for wages, after a a meeting at the headquarters of the CFE-CGC. A press release was published Thursday, in the early evening.
The press release acts in a certain way the defeat, at least provisionally, of the unions against the government, and the end of the mobilization movement started on January 19, and punctuated by 14 days of action, several of which brought together more than one million participants according to the authorities.
Wages, working conditions and gender equality on the agenda
If “the inter-union and the demonstrators have not succeeded in making the government back down on the passage of the retirement from 62 to 64 years”, “we are not turning the page”, they affirm, continuing to denounce a reform ” unjust and brutal” as well as a “denial of democracy”. “We will continue to challenge this pension reform and fight for social justice,” they promise to all opponents of the reform.
Believing that its unity has enabled it to “build the balance of power”, the inter-union announces that it “will work, from now on, to identify common demands” on six subjects: wages and pensions, working conditions, health at work, social democracy, gender equality, environment and conditionality of public aid to businesses.
It “will continue to meet, from the start of the school year”, she specifies, while tensions may have appeared within it as the end of the movement approaches, and in a context of change in its two main figures: Philippe Martinez (CGT), who handed over to Sophie Binet at the end of March, and Laurent Berger (CFDT), who will pass the torch to Marylise Léon next week.
