Union calls for an interprofessional strike on November 5

In late October 2026, unions of private contract education and then the inter-union call for a day of strike and demonstrations on November 5 for wages, public services, employment and industry. The mobilization is relayed by local actions, notably at the SNCF Bourget marshalling yard, in Angers and during an interprofessional assembly in Toulouse. On the eve of the deadline, union leaderships multiply meetings with the government and employers, while an Elabe poll indicates that 59% of French people support or express sympathy for the mobilization. After the October 31 mobilization, new blockades in high schools and universities are announced and a call for a general strike is launched for November 5.
