The pressure again in the street.

This day of action "must be part of a broad and long-term mobilization", underline the two unions in a joint press release "for wages".

They justify their call "by government measures announced on purchasing power which are below the situation of impoverishment of the population", seeing in it "measures hiding miseries, which will compensate for the absence of real revaluation of wages, minimum wage, social minima and student grants”.

Incidentally, the unions castigate “the announcement of a continuation of an unfair pension reform which requires working more”.

The two organizations make this announcement without waiting for a meeting of all the unions on the subject of purchasing power scheduled for Monday at the headquarters of Force Ouvrière.
