SIX unions are calling for a day of protest action on October 7.
The move is in connection with a worldwide day of action for “decent work,” being called for by the International Trade Union Confederation.
The unions are asking workers to “participate massively” in strikes and protests on that day.
In a joint statement the six unions said: “Whatever is being claimed about us coming out of the crisis, the economic and social damage is getting worse, which makes it all the more urgent
for there to be action over jobs and inequalities – alternatives to the bosses’ and government’s current choices.”
The unions that have so far met to organise the day are CGT, CFDT, FSU, Unsa, CFE-CGC and Solidaires. Two other major ones, CFTC and Force Ouvrière, have not taken part, saying their diaries
were full on the day the planning meeting was held. The six others hope they will join them on a further meeting on September 28.
According to financial newspaper Les Echos “this talk of clashing diaries fools no one,” and CFTC and FO are no longer convinced this kind of response to the economic crisis is useful.
