A silent march to denounce, as they have been doing since March 15 with the occupation of the Dijon theater, the unemployment insurance reform which is to come into force on July 1. “It’s an action to communicate our demands to people”, details Geraldine Pochon who is one of the occupants of the theater. This actress recalls the heart of the fight of intermittents for several weeks: that the status and social assistance from which they benefit be extended to all precarious.

“It seems important to us that the rights that we have, everyone can have them. There are many people who work like us on CDD and who do not benefit from insurance as we have. It is unacceptable”, she says.
This reform will cause enormous poverty. It’s already complicated with the context of the Covid. And there, it will amplify. It is not bearable.
The crowd was then made up of intermittents from the show, but also members of other trades. Like Mathieu, educator who works on a renewable fixed-term contract. “It is a movement for all the precarious and all the employment contracts affected by this reform. For the same contribution, it is a loss of 316 euros. We want its cancellation so that it is not always the same who pay , and stay in something decent “.
A text proclaimed on the market
The activists then declaimed a text on the market square and then in the heart of the Halles de Dijon. “We want a society where life is good, without fear of tomorrow”, notably chanted a speaker. A speech of which you can find an excerpt in the video below.
