Major public sector unions in France are mobilizing for a nationwide strike on December 5 to protest the proposed 2025 budget cuts, which they argue undermine public services. Teachers expect a high turnout, with significant school closures anticipated. The action also includes calls from energy sector unions for negotiations on salary issues. Affected public services may include education, hospitals, and administrative offices, leading to widespread disruptions. The inter-union movement plans over 160 protests across France, emphasizing demands for increased funding and better working conditions for public servants.
