On strike since early January to fight against pension reform, the lawyers of the Nantes bar are continuing the movement. But the modes of action are evolving. From a permanent strike of hearings and litigation, lawyers went to a full day strike per week. This first day of mobilizations is held this Tuesday.
On this occasion, the lawyer's house, located 25 rue de la Noue-Bars-de-fer on the Ile de Nantes, has chosen to open its doors and offer a day of free consultations "for the benefit of all litigants, individuals and professionals. Lawyers, whatever their specialty, invite the general public to come and ask them questions until 6 p.m.
[DIRECT] Nantes lawyers welcome people, answer their questions and make them aware of the lawyers' strike movement.

Defense of the autonomous pension plan
The lawyers of Nantes claim, like their French counterparts, the maintenance of their autonomous pension plan. "The reform project, if pursued in its current philosophy will weaken our offices," insists the Nantes bar. He recalls that lawyers have long denounced the "lack of means of the Nantes jurisdiction which does not allow litigants access to justice within a reasonable time".
More than 160 French bars have been affected since January by the strike movement. If the reform is adopted, their fund (managed by the profession and in balance) will be absorbed by the general scheme. A merger that would lead, according to the lawyers' union, to a doubling of contributions (from 14 to 28%) for professionals earning up to 40,000 euros per year.
