After Guadeloupe, Martinique is also preparing to mobilize. A call for a general strike was launched from Monday, November 22. Signed by 17 unions, the strike notice, filed on November 15, details ten points of demands, including the end of the vaccination obligation and suspensions for caregivers, but also the increase in wages and social minima, the price fuels and gas.
The list also mentions the full support of tests for chlordeconemia, a disease linked to chlordecone, this pesticide widely used in banana fields between 1972 and 1993, and suspected to be responsible for many diseases such as prostate cancer.

Other corporations have already announced that they would also follow the movement, such as Sara (Société Anonyme de la Raffinerie des Antilles), or the Ducos penitentiary center, where some agents could go on strike.
If the intersyndicale makes an appointment with the population at the house of the unions in the morning, it remains very vague on the actions that could be taken. However, on social networks, several messages evoke blockages on the roads, as in Guadeloupe. Part of the population rushed to hypermarkets and gas stations on Friday. Saturday morning, motorists lined up near gas pumps but the phenomenon dried up over the weekend.
