Civil service strike: are civil servants less well paid than private sector employees?. 8 out of ten civil servants have a net salary between 1,500 and 3,500 euros.
The government has spent a lot of money to upgrade public service professions, with a budget of 19 billion euros for Ségur de la santé in 2021. But the unions believe that this is insufficient to compensate for the freezing of the civil service index point between 2010 and 2015 and then from 2018 to 2021.
