It is the “der of the der”, in any case as boss of the CFDT. As announced for months, Laurent Berger hangs up the gloves of secretary general of the reforming union, which he transmits this Wednesday very officially to Marylise Léon, gently, during a large rally at the Zénith de Paris.
“This morning when I got up, I didn’t tell myself that it was my last day, but I told myself that it was going to be a moving and memorable moment. Tomorrow I will wake up a little lighter in mental load, “he confides this Wednesday morning on France 2. And to add a little later that tomorrow, he will take his 5-year-old son to school, “and it’s pretty cool” as a project.
???????? “Protests are not the alpha and omega of trade unionism. We have evolved a lot”

Berger, 54, who took over from François Chérèque in November 2012, to be re-elected in 2014, 2018 and 2022, announced last April his desire to step down. “François Chérèque gave me the baton in excellent conditions, I want to do the same thing”, he said. The day should allow him to present his results at the head of the central – the CFDT became the first union force in companies in 2017 – and to salute the historic union once morest the pension reform “with dignity”.
Pensions: “Unfortunately we did not win”
“Unfortunately we didn’t win, but we did our job, it gives us a lot of energy. We must use the confidence (acquired during the mobilization, editor’s note) to obtain progress “in all areas relating to work, he defends once more this Wednesday.
“There is no change of line but there is a change of style, inevitably”, continues this son of a worker and a childcare assistant, a graduate in history, a former employee of an association of insertion in the Nantes region before embracing trade unionism.
“Sincerely no”, he will not miss the commitment, his role has been “very impactful for my wife, my family, my children”. For his future “professional orientations”, “which I don’t yet know what they are today”, he affirms, we will not know more except that “I am going to be very discreet and silent, I owe it to the CFDT”. And that Berger will not “(s) engage in seeking votes”. “It is neither my story nor the interest of the CFDT”, he insists.
