The Nurses' Association and the Union of Public Servants (SFR) have joined the public sector protests, organising two one-day pay strikes. Several groups of public sector workers, including pilots, have already organised strikes. Other strikes, including a teachers strike are looming. All strikes have a common demand: that after years of austerity and taking into account considerable economic recovery in the past years, public sector wages are increased.
