After the six months of unwavering unity displayed in the spring by the unions during the mobilization against the pension reform, the latter recorded on Friday a new “phase” of the inter-union which will meet occasionally to prepare the social agenda. “It’s the transformation of the inter-union”, confided Cyril Chabanier (CFTC) after a meeting between unions, recalling that “we are no longer in the same moment as during the mobilization against pensions”.
“We agreed to say that what we have created, this trust, this respect… We had to continue it” but it is clear, according to this leader re-elected in November, that “there is no has more of a big theme right now.”
“We are not putting everything in a cupboard”, he insists, but “there will be no inter-union movement like we have seen for six months”. For Frédéric Souillot (FO), “the inter-union mobilization is a great tool but for the moment, the great tool we put in the toolbox”. “We recognized that we were no longer in the same phase,” confirmed Simon Duteil, co-general delegate of Solidaires.
“There are no permanent inter-union associations, when we do one, it’s on a specific subject,” recalled Sophie Binet, general secretary of the CGT. […] We asked ourselves at the inter-union level how to have a new phase of unitary work”, “by telling ourselves clearly that there are subjects on which we will not all be signatories and that’s okay.”
