A new mobilization is planned for Tuesday, November 10 in the streets of Nice. At the call of an inter-union bringing together teachers, high school students and university students, the gathering will take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., starting from Garibaldi Square.
Social unrest continues in Nice. Following previous days of mobilization, union organizations are calling again to take to the streets this Tuesday, November 10. A demonstration declared at the prefecture is to cross the city center in the morning.
The meeting point is set at Garibaldi Square. The procession will then pass through the Yves Klein passage, before joining Avenue Saint-Jean-Baptiste and then Avenue Félix Faure. The return to the starting point will be via Avenue Jean-Jaurès. The route is planned between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with possible disruptions on the affected roads. The procession should therefore not pass through Avenue Jean-Médecin.
The unions want to maintain pressure on the government
This new day of action is led by an inter-union bringing together teacher organizations, high school students and university students. In a press release issued Saturday by the Snes-FSU, the signatories call for continuing national mobilization.
“The social movement is in a position of strength, the government in a position of weakness and is beginning to back down. This is the time to amplify the mobilization by continuing to put pressure on the government”, write the organizations.
The call comes the day after the previous demonstration on Saturday, November 7 and in a context of discussions between the government, unions and employer representatives. Meeting on Monday, November 9 at Matignon, the latter addressed issues of purchasing power and remuneration in particular.
Following this social conference, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced an additional revaluation of 0.6% of the minimum wage, which will be added to the automatic increase of 1%. This increase is to take effect from December 1. The government intends to respond to part of wage claims, but the unions consider the measure insufficient in light of their demands.
