Eight major trade-union confederations and youth organizations coordinated a nationwide strike and demonstrations against the plan to raise the legal retirement age to 64. More than a million people demonstrated according to the Interior Ministry, while the CGT gave a higher estimate. Workers argued that the reform shifted costs onto people with physically demanding jobs, interrupted careers and lower life expectancy. The coalition's breadth made pensions a central debate about class, gender and unequal working lives.
