CFE-CGC Rejects Sept. 10 'Block Everything' Call, Opens Door to Union-Led Action

Friday's intersyndicale aims to set a unified date for an organised response to Bayrou's austerity budget.

Overview

  • CFE-CGC said it will not join the Sept. 10 protest launched on social media, arguing any movement must have clear demands and negotiable proposals.
  • Union president François Hommeril criticized the Sept. 10 call as nebulous and subject to short-term political instrumentalisation.
  • The managers’ union signalled it could participate in a structured campaign coordinated by representative organisations against the government's budget.
  • CGT and Solidaires support the Sept. 10 mobilisation and are urging strike action locally, while FO has kept its distance and is set to clarify its stance at the intersyndicale.
  • CFDT rejects the Sept. 10 method and will propose a separate unitary date on Friday, with leader Marylise Léon questioning who would be the interlocutor for protesters that day.
