Trade union mobilization on November 5, 2026 in France
On October 23, 2026, all the trade unions of private education under contract called for a strike on November 5 to denounce salary revaluations deemed insufficient in the face of inflation. On October 25, following the mobilizations on October 17 and 24, the joint union coalition called for a day of strike and demonstrations on November 5 for salaries, public services, employment, and industry, with transport, education, and health sectors affected. On October 26, the Europa League match between Stade Rennais and Olympiacos scheduled for November 5 could be moved forward by one day due to social movements in Ille-et-Vilaine and across the country. On October 27, Alain Bauer estimated that the government feared this day, while Anasse Kazib called on railway workers to strike, relaying a local strike of 98% of the switch operators at the Bourget marshalling yard. On the eve of November 5, trade union leaderships are multiplying meetings with the government and employers, with FO and CFTC set to negotiate with MEDEF on youth employment, while high school student mobilization continues.
