Social mobilization in France ahead of the November 5, 2026 strike

On October 25, 2026, after the mobilizations of October 17 and 24, the inter-union calls for a day of strike and demonstrations on November 5 for wages, public services, employment and industry. In the following days, local and sectoral calls multiply, notably at the SNCF sorting yard of Le Bourget where 98% of signallers are on strike, while unions negotiate with the government and employers and political and economic leaders react. In Toulouse, an interprofessional general assembly and CGT space industry unions call for a massive general strike on November 5. After the October 31 mobilization, high school and university blockades are announced and SUD-Rail calls to harden the movement ahead of the November 5 day.
