Trade Unionists Protest Agaist Retirement Reform In France

A man wears a vest reading 'Social decline isn't up to negotiate, but to fight'. Trade unionists from several trade unions such as CGT, SUD and CNT gathered in front of the committee room of Corinne Vignon, LREM MP to discuss with her about the retirement reform proposed Macron's governement. They demand the withdrawal of the new reform of retirement (age, pension, conditions, etc.). Many medias were also there (LCI, BFM TV, Europe 1...) Macron's governement proposes a change between a pay-as-you-go pension system by a system by points on an idea from Jean-Claude Delvoye (who resigned today due to conflicts of interest). The French government want also an unification of all pension systems in France (except for policemen, military, congressmen, senators, ministers). Toulouse. France. December 16th 2019.
