6 of France's most prominent education unions are calling on teachers to go on a general strike on November 5, protesting what they see as insufficient government promises to improve education conditions. The general secretary of the General Confederation of Labor "CGT" Sophie Bennett says that the strike will include contract teachers, pensioners, youth and workers in the sector. The demands include an increase in wages, a re-examination of the government budget, an increase in the number of teachers and the improvement of school equipment.
