French unions are once again calling for a strike

French unions are calling for a large-scale strike on November 5, following a meeting with Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu, who they claim ignored their demands. CGT leader Sophie Binet emphasized the need for mobilization and general assemblies in workplaces to support the strike. The unions demand social responses to long-standing worker grievances. Binet criticized the government's lack of concrete measures during the meeting, while the Prime Minister plans to meet with political party representatives. President Emmanuel Macron condemned violence during protests and criticized foreign leaders for their comments on the situation in France. He called for a meeting to address intelligence failures related to recent unrest.
