france-calls-for-strike-against-retirement-reform
Paris, Sep 23 (Prensa Latina) The general secretary of the General Confederation of Labor of France, Sophie Binet, called today for a strike on October 1 to seek the repeal of the retirement reform.

The correlation of forces in our favor, we must seize the advantage, the leader to the Franceinfo channel said, in connection with the call for a strike also launched by unions such as the Unitary Trade Union Federation, the Solidaires and youth organizations.

The formation of a new government in France, announced on Saturday under the reins of Prime Minister Michel Barnier, revived the battle against the reform enacted in April 2023 by President Emmanuel Macron, despite the broad rejection in society to that initiative.

According to Binet, a conference is urgently needed to find ways of financing retirement that does not involve retirement at 64 and increased contributions, the most denounced measures of the reform.

The unions have many proposals, which we did not have the opportunity to present, she warned.
