Protest For Better Wages And Better Public Services In Toulouse

A woman is holding a placard that reads 'SOS Precarity' in Toulouse, France, on March 19, 2024. All unions have called for a day of strike and protest for better wages and are demanding an end to what they describe as the dismantling of public services, including education, health, and public worker services. Nearly 2,000 people are demonstrating in a joint protest with all unions (CGT, SUD, CFTC, UNSA, etc.) against austerity, inflation, and for the equality of wages between men and women, as well as for environmental causes. Protests and strikes are taking place all over France in a national day of action. Riot police have intervened to seize a banner made by high school students, and two arrests have been made for wearing masks. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
