Overview

  • The Union syndicale lycéenne, the main high‑school union, urges blockades of schools on 10 September and says it is ready for continued mobilization.
  • Sector plans are mounting, with CGT Mines‑Énergie striking from 2 September, Sud‑Rail calling a rail strike on 10 September, and Sud Aérien urging walkouts and airport blockades that day.
  • Force Ouvrière has filed a national strike pre‑notice from 1 September to 30 November but says it will not align with the blanket 10 September call.
  • AP‑HP unions are preparing an intersyndical strike pre‑notice from 5 September pending hospital assemblies, while taxi unions plan actions from 5 September and pharmacy bodies schedule closures on 18 September and Saturdays from 27 September.
  • The call originated on TikTok with Les Essentiels and the Bloquons Tout/Indignons‑nous network, gained backing from LFI, Ecologists and Communists, and drew CGT leader Sophie Binet’s warning about unclear demands and potential instrumentalisation.
