Trade unions called a nationwide day of action against plans to lengthen contribution periods and reshape public-sector pensions. Public transport and education workers were especially active, while many private-sector workers did not join. The mobilization made visible a conflict over who would bear the costs of pension-system change; the government passed a revised reform later that summer. A decolonial reading also asks how public services and pension protections are distributed across class, gender, migration status and France's overseas territories.
