The eight public service unions have joined forces and are calling on the 5.7 million public employees to mobilize on Tuesday in Paris and in the regions. The scale of the mobilization will be one of the issues of the day, four months before the Olympic and Paralympic Games during which the CGT and FO have already promised to file strike notices.

Teachers will also march against the government's educational policy and in particular against the creation of "groups" at college. The unions are demanding new general increases, after those of 3.5% and 1.5%.
