Labor law: new nationwide strike on May 12 – The Point

Sept trade unions, students and high school students (CGT, FO, FSU, Solidaires, UNEF, Fidl, UNL) call for a new national day of strikes and demonstrations on May 12 to demand the withdrawal of the draft labor law, said Friday the CGT told Agence France-Presse. The Inter, which must meet again on Tuesday initially provided “a day of initiatives and arrest of parliamentarians” May 12 The date corresponds to the end of the debates in the National Assembly, before the formal vote on 17 May.

This will be the fifth national unitary day of action against the bill to call for Inter, after the 9 and 31 March and 9 and 28 April. Other action days were organized solely by youth organizations and traditional parades of May 1 were focused against the bill. The movement reached its peak on 31 March, with nearly 390,000 demonstrators according to the police, and 1.2 million according to the organizers.

The labor bill is currently being debated at first reading in National Assembly. It provides for the primacy of the company agreement in the management of working time, a clarification of economic dismissal rules and the creation of a personal account activity (CPA). Unions opposed the text denouncing a reform that “accentuates precariousness, marks the undermining of collective agreements, collective ruin guarantees”.
