The strike of September 10, 2025 is mobilizing many sectors in France around the citizen movement"Bloquons tout", born on social networks in reaction to the 44 billion euro savings plan announced by François Bayrou. This nationwide mobilization is targeting the abolition of two public holidays (May 8 and Easter Monday) and budget cuts to public services. The Paris region is gearing up for major disruptions to transport, education and health services.
Transport in the Paris region is expected to be particularly disrupted this Wednesday, September 10. The CGT-Cheminots, the SNCF's largest union, has called for "massive participation" in the strike on September 10, denouncing the lack of consideration for "the arduous nature of rail workers' work" and "budgetary austerity in the transport sector". SUD-Rail was the first major SNCF union to call for a strike on September 10, in a press release issued on August 21.
On the RATP side, the La Base union, which has a majority of RER drivers, has called for a strike on September 10 in a statement shared on their Facebook page. The RER D and Transilien R lines are particularly affected by the disruptions, with train cancellations expected at peak times.

While the strike call does not guarantee massive store closures, disruptions are expected, particularly in certain hypermarkets and supermarkets in the Paris region.

The union justifies this mobilization by "a tense social context: persistent inflation, purchasing power at half-mast, working conditions considered to be deteriorating in the retail sector".

Pharmacies are also joining the protest movement, but on a different timetable. The sector's intersyndicale (Uspo, FSPF, UNPF, Federgy, UDGPO) is planning an initial closure of pharmacies on September 18, followed by closures every Saturday from September 27.

The "Bloquons tout" movement has its origins in a citizens' mobilization launched on the Internet in the summer of 2025. Born of the rejection of the savings plan presented by François Bayrou, the "Bloquons tout" movement gained momentum with the support of part of the opposition and certain trade union branches. The initiative is reminiscent in its methods of the birth of the Gilets Jaunes movement in November 2018.
In addition to traditional strikes, the movement is aiming to strike at the economic system in a more targeted way. Calls are circulating to boycott bankcards from September 10, in order to deprive banks of their commissions. Other initiatives include "free tolls" on freeways in the Paris region.
September 10 is part of a wider mobilization calendar. Three rail unions are calling for massive strikes and demonstrations on September 18. This second date coincides with the vote of confidence in the Bayrou government, scheduled for September 8 in the French National Assembly.
