French unions to march against Macron on May Day – but not together
Best friends French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump
FRENCH trade unions will be marching against President Emmanuel Macron’s cuts and privatisation programmes tomorrow.
But unions will not be marching together, despite calls by the militant CGT union for a “convergence of struggles.”
A “unitary meeting in support of the social struggle” held tonight was addressed by the Socialist Party’s Benoit Hamon, the Communist Party’s (PCF) Pierre Laurent and Olivier Besancenot of the New Anti-Capitalist Party.
