Union protest over responsibility pact and public services

France

Four of the main trade union organisations - CGT, FO, FSU and Solidaires - took part in strike action and protests on 18 March in defence of public services and in protest at the government's "responsibility pact" with its primary aim of reducing costs for employers. The unions estimate they mobilised around 240000 workers in 140 towns and cities across France, highlighting the need for urgent action on jobs as well as maintaining their call for pay increases in the public sector.
