This strike wave that started last year, and has progressed across a wide range of sectors, is continuing to develop, with no end in sight. The government is being forced into making some concessions.

Huge mobilisations, against Macron’s proposed raising of the retirement age, are taking place across France. Millions of people have taken to the streets and are continuing to do do. It is an inspiring struggle to follow closely, support, and emulate.

The unions’ fight back against the attacks on living standards, have extended into this year.
Labour movement and other progressive activists should step up their activity in support of this growing anti-austerity struggle.
