the dialogue between the executive and the unions at an impasse

Crucial minutes for the unions. They arrive in Matignon (Paris), united, with a smile on their face, Wednesday April 5. The objective against Elisabeth Borne: to obtain the withdrawal of the pension reform. A face-to-face of 55 minutes before the unions slam the door. “In this meeting, it felt like the government was in a parallel reality, judge Sophie Binet, secretary general of the CGT. There, the message we give them is right: we have to land.” “We had a social crisis, which is turning into a democratic crisis”abounds Laurent Berger, leader of the CFDT.

Elisabeth Borne does not bend

A few moments later, it was the turn of the Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, to appear in front of the microphones: “I heard their disagreement on the raising of the age, and I was able to repeat to them my conviction and that of my government on the need for this reform.” After this dialogue of the deaf, the unions call to mobilize, Thursday, April 6.
