Life will stop in France: they will quit their job
Unions in France will carry out work stoppages that will paralyze the daily order in the country against the reform of President Emmanuel Macron, which will increase the retirement age in the country by two years to 64.
The strike, which will stop most trains, reduce electricity production, cancel many classes and affect air transport and oil refineries, will be the sixth nationwide strike since mid-January.
The country’s main unions said in a joint statement: “Together, let’s stop France on March 7!” saying.
“The public is massively rejecting this reform,” Laurent Berger, leader of the CFDT union, told France Inter radio. We need lots and lots of people on the streets. “We can do better than the January 31 mass strike, the largest mass movement since the 1990s,” he said.
Some 1.27 million people turned out for demonstrations on January 31, protesting the reform that would extend the work time required to receive pension rights and full pensions.
