French Unions Mobilise for Broad Strike Over 2027 Budget

French unions are mobilising for a broad strike to press the government for higher wages and changes to the 2027 budget, with protests expected across the country.

The mobilisation brings pay demands and budget policy into a shared campaign aimed at putting pressure on the government.

Unions are calling for the spending plan to be revised alongside wage increases. The proposed changes to the budget have not been specified in the available details.

Protest action is expected in different parts of France as the campaign takes shape. The timing of the demonstrations and the sectors likely to be affected remain unclear.
