Demonstration For Wage Increases And Respect For The Right To Strike

A CGT union marchers hold up a placard demanding an increase in the minimum wage to €2,000 net per month during a demonstration in Paris, 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)
