This promulgation in the Official Journal, in the middle of the night from Friday to Saturday, “confirms the violent contempt of the President of the Republic both for the population and then in particular for the trade unions, knowing that yesterday evening, the all the trade union organizations had solemnly called on Emmanuel Macron to learn the lessons of the censorship (of certain articles) of the Constitutional Council and not to promulgate the law”, estimated Sophie Binet on France Info.
A “totally shameful” decision

The proof, he takes it in the middle of the night, behind the backs of the workers who have been mobilized for months to demand the withdrawal of this violent reform, ”added the leader of the CGT. Emmanuel Macron “slams the door in our face once again and he confirms the very worrying radicalization of power”, she added.
“Night and day, this reform is unfair! Democratic wisdom demanded not to promulgate it and to renew the dialogue, ”commented Laurent Berger on Twitter. “From the beginning, the contempt returned to the workers will have been constant. But their dignity in the street is stronger ”, further underlined the secretary general of the CFDT which gives an appointment on May 1 in the street to the opponents of the text.
