The CGT will file strike notices in the three public functions at the beginning of April for the period covering the Olympics. The general secretary of the trade union organization Sophie Binet deplored a stalled social dialogue on the arrangements surrounding the Olympic Games.
“We want the government to take immediate measures to ensure the success of the Games, for which the CGT has been working for years,” she explained. The president of the organizing committee for the Paris Olympic Games Tony Estanguet requested at the end of February a social "truce" during the competition.
