“The last negotiations with the management have yielded nothing, and as long as there is no concrete, we will remain mobilized, warns the trade unionist.

On the continuation of the movement, it will depend on the progress of the negotiations, and on the employees themselves, who decide.

But we do not refrain from continuing the movement on other weekends, at the start of the school year or at Christmas.
