Mobilization to come at Pôle emploi. In a joint press release dated January 7, the public operator’s inter-union indicates that a strike call has been launched among its 55,000 agents for February 1. This call from the unions CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC, CGT, FO, SNAP, SNU-FSU, STC, SUD and UNSA aims to “raise wages and salaries”, “stop the deterioration of working conditions” and “to restore meaning to work to improve the quality of service to the public”.
“Not a day goes by without new price increases, in particular energy, fuel, housing, constrained expenses, when our salaries have stagnated for several years and when inflation reaches 2.8% at the end of November 2021”, regret the unions.
“Not a day goes by without a new action plan, new government demands, and always a forced march”, they add, citing the plan for long-term job seekers presented at the end of September, the new youth employment contract (CEJ) and again the “reinforcement of the control of (job) search in a context of tightening of the rules of unemployment insurance” wanted by the government.
