May 1st is Labor Day. It is precisely this day that the inter-union has chosen to call for a new day of mobilization against the pension reform. Because, if the text has been adopted, the unions intend to continue the movement.
This Monday, May 1, 2023 will mark the 13th major day of mobilization against the pension reform. " The mobilization of May 1 will be unprecedented and exceptional. It is the first time that all the unions will demonstrate. It will be family, popular, festive," said Sophie Binet, secretary general of the CGT, on RTL on April 27.
In Paris, the procession of this demonstration will start from the Place de la République to join the Place de la Nation.
