A legislative jolting journey and a procession of opponents is not fading: Friday’s press compared the law to a “ Crucis ” to Francois Hollande, even a “ political suicide “
Among nearly 390,000 people according to the authorities, 1.2 million, including 200,000 young people, according to organizers, marched in 250 towns,” with several thousand work stoppages “, the call of seven trade unions and students (CGT, Solidaires, FSU, UNEF, LDIFs, UNL).
At the previous day of action on March 9, the call of the same organizations, authorities had counted 224,000 demonstrators and the organizers between 400,000 and 500,000.
In Paris, the police headquarters on Thursday counted between 26,000 and 28,000 protesters, approximately the same figure as on 9 March.
The seven unions have already called for “ amplify the action “, Tuesday, April 5 “ to parliamentarians on Saturday 9 April and after, until withdrawal of this bill , “said the CGT.
Clashes broke sidelines processions. In the capital, hooded youths threw projectiles at police, as well as Rennes and Grenoble. In Nantes, some clashed with police who used water cannons. In all, 77 people were arrested and 33 people injured, including 31 policemen.
The Parisian procession marched in the rain to the Place d’Italie to that of the nation, behind Philippe Martinez (CGT), Bernadette Groison (FSU), Jean-Claude Mailly (FO) and William Martinet (UNEF). “ Labour Code: Withdrawal Bill El Khomri ” proclaimed the banner head.
A few hundred people gathered to 7:00 p.m. Place de la Republique in Paris to extend the movement, especially around a citizens’ meeting.
The day was also marked by strikes in transport (SNCF, Air France …), the Eiffel Tower, Paris Opera, at EDF, in the public service, press, and numerous blockades of high schools and universities.
“ It is necessary that the government take into account what is happening ,” said Philippe Martinez.
Among the slogans: “ Labour Law, you’re fucked, youth is on the street ‘,’ not touch my code ” “ 1916: cannon fodder, 2016: flesh bosses ” or “ No to return to Germinal, yes general strike .”
Muriel, 56, came to manifest “ for young people who may be even more precarious than us, against this government offers liberal laws. I (…) thought I voted for a leftist government . ” For Alain, retired, “ easy to dismiss is contrary to the rights of workers: there have already been Macron law; here, it is the ultimate .”
Zacharia, a student at Bondy, criticizes the bill “ chance to get fired .”
“ slingers ” PS as Christian Paul participated in the parade, which was also announced environmentalists MPs, including the former Minister Cécile Duflot.
– Text ‘toxic’ –
Faced with the outcry, even in the ranks of the majority, the government reversed mid-March on arrangements (compensation cap prud’homales , unilateral decisions of the employer).
But for unions to mobilize initiative, the text “ still toxic to wage earners .” In addition to the “ facilitation ” layoffs, they challenge the “ philosophy ” of the text, which establishes the primacy of the company on the branch agreement, and fears a “ less-called ” for employees.
For Karine Berger, PS deputy and member of the National Office, oppositions “ to take very seriously ‘,’ show a real social malaise “.
The Minister of Labour, Myriam El Khomri, continues to defend a “ required law and just .”
Manuel Valls said “ take its differences ” with the CGT and FO during questions to the Government in the Senate: “ we wanted to focus on, as trade union organizations do not manifest today called reformists, that negotiation is first in the company and of course in the branches “, he pleaded.
Probably the last five years, the reform is also one of the most criticized, as was the Macron law or constitutional reform that François Hollande was forced to retire.
If a consensus is emerging among several unions (CFDT, CFE-CGC and CFTC) to rewrite some items (redundancy, account activity staff) in the National Assembly during debates planned early May, employers claiming him, a “ back to the first version .”
