Strike Called by Inter-Union in Maine-et-Loire Pensions Dispute Following 49.3 Use – Saumur Kiosque

“The Maine-et-Loire inter-union took note of the lack of a majority in the National Assembly to vote for an unfair and unnecessary pension reform. The government chose to force through using section 49.3. Faced with contempt for the expression of workers and trade unions, but also for national representation, the Maine-et-Loire inter-union calls for a strike and the most massive mobilization possible on Thursday, March 23. “, Indicates in a press release the inter-union of Maine-et-Loire. Gatherings and demonstrations are planned in Angers at 2 p.m. from Place Leclerc, but also in Cholet, Segré and Saumur at 10 a.m., from Place de la Bilange. The mobilization of the unions wants to be even stronger since the use of the famous article 49.3 by the government as indicated by the CGT of Maine-et-Loire: “The use of 49.3 to force through the “whim of Macron” is an admission of weakness. Worse still, it signals the end of a social pact already undermined by 6 years of the reign of a UBU-king who only listens to himself. On our side, the determination is intact – even reinforced by this latest blow to our democracy. So the fight continues. » Note that another rally is scheduled for Tuesday March 21 in Angers at 4 p.m. in front of the court.

Blockages in Saumur

In addition, this Monday, March 20, the Saumur inter-union organized a filtering barrage between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. at the Fleuret roundabout in Saumur, a very busy axis serving the ring road and the avenue des fusillés. Another blockage is scheduled for tomorrow morning, Tuesday March 21, on another undisclosed site. Indeed, at the end of the meeting with the sub-prefect of Saumur Marie-Pervenche Plaza last Thursday, the inter-union had indicated that it would continue the mobilization with new blockages (read again here).
