Back to the classic route after the demonstration on Saturday.

For this new day of mobilization against the pension reform, the Lyon procession will set off as usual from the Tobacco factory, in the 8th arrondissement.

The departure is scheduled for 2 p.m., in the direction of Place Bellecour via Cours Gambetta.

Traffic will thus be cut off on this axis at the beginning of the afternoon.

On the public transport side, all the information has not yet been sent to the TCL unions.

What is certain is that metro B will remain at a standstill all week due to the completion of the extension work to the new southern terminus.

On the rail, the detail of the disturbances for the TER traffic will be available from 5 p.m. this Wednesday on the regional site of the SNCF.

The Feyzin refinery ready for a general strike

School holidays oblige, schools, colleges and high schools are not affected by the strike.

Last Tuesday's demonstration had also resulted in a decline in mobilization, with 10,000 to 30,000 people in the Lyon procession - depending on whether we consider the figures from the prefecture or the unions - against 25,000 to 45,000 on January 31, before a renewed presence on Saturday, with 15,000 to 35,000 demonstrators.

On the side of the Feyzin refinery where

"more than 75%"

of the staff was on strike last Tuesday, according to FO, the mobilization promises to be very popular again.

And the union to call

"for the blocking of the country"

from March 7 by stopping shipments and production units.
