Demonstration For Wage Increases And Respect For The Right To Strike

CGT General Secretary Philippe Martinez was present at a demonstration in Paris on 18 October 2022, after the CGT and FO unions called for a national strike for higher wages, and against the government's requisitioning of some strikers at refineries to return to work. In support, unions in other industries and the public sector called for strike action and denounced soaring energy prices and overall inflation on the cost of living. (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto)
