Union calls for a strike and demonstrations on November 5

On October 23, all private-sector contract education unions called for a strike on November 5, as part of a national interprofessional mobilization day, to protest salary increases deemed insufficient in the face of inflation. On October 25, following the mobilizations of October 17 and 24, the inter-union called for a day of strikes and demonstrations on November 5 for wages, public services, employment and industry, with transport, education and health sectors affected. On October 26, the Rennes-Stade vs Olympiakos match scheduled for November 5 could be moved due to social movements; on October 27, Alain Bauer believes the government fears the strike, Anasse Kazib calls on railway workers to mobilize and unions negotiate with the government and employers before the day of action. On October 28, in Angers, mayor Christophe Béchu refused parking for the Force Ouvrière bus, while at the SNCF sorting facility in Le Bourget, 98% of signal operators were on strike and called for massive mobilization on November 5. The same day, Michel-Édouard Leclerc stated that demonstrations must take place and that 'work must pay', an Elabe poll for BFMTV indicating that 59% of French people support or sympathize with the mobilization, as calls to demonstrate on October 31 and November 5 raise fears of large gatherings.
