No interprofessional day since confinement
"With the retirement by points and the breakage of unemployment insurance in particular, they are bent on wanting to maintain a retrograde old world to satisfy the interests of capital at the expense of the interests of employees, retirees and unemployed", estimates the central union.
Since the coronavirus crisis and general confinement, there has not been an interprofessional day of demonstrations and strikes, but protests by carers, against police violence or linked to announcements of social plans that have followed one another for a month.
