Unionists Distribute Leaflets For A Day Of Strike And Protest Against The Pension Reform

Unionist from the SUD union distributes leaflets to a woman in the street calling for a day (January 31th) of strike and protest against the Macron's pension reforms. The sheet reads 'Against the pension'reform' and 'Demonstration on January 31th'. Pension: but why this obsession for to have us at work for so long ?' France's labour union made a rare joint call for a day of major strike action and protests across France against plans by President Emmanuel Macron's government to reform the pension system and raise the retirement age to 64 from 62, a move opinion polls show is opposed by a vast majority (93%) of workers already facing a cost-of-living crisis. Nearly all sectors unions call for this strike and protest : mining and energy, health, schooling sector, transportation, trucks drivers, refining workers, bank workers, etc. The retirement age would be raise to 64 years (for 43 years of continued work) and the pensions will be lower specially for women, 'short careers' and low wages people. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which depends of the Prime minister Office directly, said on September 2022 in its latest report that it sees no needs to reform the pension system as it shares in the French GDP will remain steady at least 2070.
