“We can win the battle for pensions”
“For us, in concrete terms, it is a day of general strike which must allow the support of the whole population for the mobilization, they continue. We consider that we can win the battle for pensions”, they add. , believing that for this it is necessary “to increase the balance of power to compel the government” to withdraw the bill.
“He must withdraw it as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will engage in a hardening of the mobilization”, they write.
“We propose to all workers, in the private and public sectors, to debate in general assemblies the possibility of renewing the strike from March 7 according to the methods specific to each sector, with inventiveness and determination”, adds Solidarity.
On Saturday, the number one of the CFDT Laurent Berger had indicated that behind the call to put France “at a standstill” on March 7, it was a question of “gathering in front of companies, ghost town operations” and not to be “in the logic of renewable strike”.
“The question of renewal is not decided at the level of the trade union confederations, but in the companies and the services”, affirmed Philippe Martinez for the CGT.
