As usual, the Yonne unions will organize a rally, Friday March 8, 2024, for International Women’s Rights Day, in Auxerre.
An inter-union association from Yonne (CGT, FSU, FO, CFE-CGC, CFDT, Unsa, CFTC and Solidaires) wants to once again give “a spotlight” on women, Friday March 8, 2024, the date of International Women’s Day. womens rights. “A highlight because this fight takes place every day of the year,” warned union representatives this Friday, March 1, during a press conference.
A mobilization will be organized in Auxerre, with a procession which will set off at 2 p.m. from the Maison des syndicats to the Irène-Joliot-Curie esplanade, a few hundred meters away, where speeches will be made.
Still too many demands
Who says professional organizations, inevitably says professional demands for this day of March 8, 2024. And the list is still far too long. Starting with equal pay between the two sexes “which the salary scales do not hide”, which has direct consequences on the amount of retirement pensions, when the time comes. “It is, however, enshrined in the law,” sighs Kemal Batirbek, regional secretary of the CFDT. “It is already regrettable that it was necessary to go through a law and that this equal pay is not natural, but what’s more, it is not “is not applied. Why?”

Then comes the question of working conditions. “Both in terms of working time and organization with private life,” specifies Véronique Degoix-Guttin, departmental secretary of the CGT. Because for all the representatives of the inter-union organizations, the problems are numerous. “Glass ceiling with women who refuse to seize opportunities”, “mobility often necessary to progress in the public service”, “The National Education Pact which wants to better pay those who work more, while those who the majority are men”, “impossibility of being absent for a few days to train or carry out professional internships”…
“Assigned to their role as mother”
While women are more qualified than men, unions regret their “assignment to their role as mothers” and strive to raise awareness of the road that remains to be taken for true equality between men and women. “There is still a long way to go to deconstruct thought patterns,” notes Philippe Wante, departmental secretary of the FSU. Women are still too often assigned to their role as mothers. 85% of part-time jobs are held by women. There is a basic education problem. It starts with gendered toys, behind the problem of the skills that are granted to both sexes.”

The government’s lack of family policy is also widely denounced, particularly around early childhood. “It’s an endless circle,” notes Véronique Degoix-Guttin. “Parental leave is paid around 428 euros per month. Only 1% of fathers use it because women mostly have the lower salary of the two. It is therefore their careers which find themselves cut short because there is almost no childcare solution, given that the reception is overflowing, right up to kindergarten… It’s very significant.”
One problem, three different numbers. Several figures on the average salary gap between men and women are displayed by INSEE : that of 5.3% for equal positions and working hours, 15% for equal working hours, and 24% for all working hours combined.
