Overview

• Sophie Binet called the viral call to block the country “nebulous” and warned about possible far-right instrumentalisation, with the CGT set to debate next week ahead of an intersyndicale on 1 September.
• SUD‑Rail urged railway workers to strike “massively” on 10 September, while the CGT‑Cheminots and Unsa‑Ferroviaire will decide their positions in the coming days.
• Taxi federations plan blockades from 5 September at airports, train stations, borders, fuel distribution sites and on the Champs‑Élysées, aiming to pressure the government over medical transport rules.
• Sector actions are stacking up, including an energy walkout on 2 September and a hospital strike notice at AP‑HP covering 1–30 September, with FO’s national préavis effective from 1 September.
• A Toluna–Harris Interactive poll for RTL found 63% support for the 10 September call, as La France insoumise, the Ecologists and the Communist Party back the push and the Socialist Party signals cautious support.
