Various trade union delegations gathered in the morning at the Maison des syndicats before marching through the streets of the center of Fort-de-France. Teachers, police officers, firefighters, and territorial agents participated in the mobilization. Many schools were also closed on this Tuesday. José François Augrain, a member of the CDMT, stated that this mobilization goes beyond the public sector alone. "All unions have called for mobilization. [...] The government is attacking on all fronts. Salary revaluation, not touching pensions, the minimum wage also at 1,700 euros: all of this is part of our demands. Because we are talking about the high cost of living. Yes, life is expensive, but salaries are very low." Many mobilized teachers were present in the procession. Valérie Vertal-Loriot, a member of the SNES-FSU, particularly highlights the issue of teachers' salaries and purchasing power, as well as their working conditions. "In the 1980s, a teacher's starting salary was twice the SMIC. Today, it is 1.04 times the SMIC. So, we see that there is a real decline in salaries." Another particularly visible mobilization on Tuesday was that of the firefighters. A delegation left the Étang Z'abricots station to join the headquarters. Joël Nestorine, a member of the intersyndical firefighters of Martinique, believes that the specificities of the territory should be taken into account more. He wants the level of funding to be adapted to the needs of the Martinican population. "We have cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes, a unique volcano in the world. Therefore, yes, we must modernize the stations, we must train specialists and this has a cost. However, this cost, the SIS budget does not allow us to provide answers. We are an island, we do not have rescue services nearby and we must stop talking about us as departments that would be in France." Dwevan Delivry, general secretary of the FO SIS 972 union, present in the procession with a symbolic coffin, wants to raise awareness about the financial situation of the service. "This coffin represents today the death of rescue services in Martinique." According to him, the "financial difficulties" have direct consequences on the daily functioning of the SIS. "We are facing financial difficulties. The Martinique SDIS is underfunded and we are in such a difficult situation that we cannot renew contracts, buy pharmaceutical supplies, a simple oxygen mask, bandages, change ambulance tires of VSAV." In the morning, the firefighters' representatives were received by the president of the SDIS. They say, however, they are still waiting for concrete answers on the means to mobilize. The union representatives must also meet with the prefect's cabinet director to discuss their situation. The police have also joined the mobilization. Laurent Doëns, a night guard at the Fort-de-France police station, mentions the difficulties encountered in a context of increasing insecurity. "Insecurity [...] would require, in our opinion, the deployment of additional personnel," he says. The safety conditions of the agents and salary demands are also among the concerns of the police. "We have several demands, namely the unfreezing of the index point which has not moved in three years. And then, our risk premium, which has not been reviewed since 2019." For Marcel Selaye, a member of the CDMT, the mobilization goes beyond just salary issues. He places it more broadly within the demands related to living and working conditions. "We need to look at the planet. There are many uprisings in all areas. Not only on purchasing power, but on life itself, living conditions and working conditions necessarily. It is within this movement that our mobilization is inscribed." In total, several hundred people mobilized on Tuesday in the streets of the center of Fort-de-France, at the call of all trade union organizations. Approximately 350 people mobilized on Tuesday, September 29 in Cayenne and Kourou as part of the national strike day in the public sector. Eight unions mobilized in French Guiana: FO, CFDT, CFTC, FSU, Solidaires, UNSA, UTG and the CFE-CGC. They all call for the abolition of the index point freeze, the day of absence and the hiring of several staff. Approximately 150 demonstrators gathered in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, highlighting the high cost of living in the region. The UNSA describes the daily life of agents in the area, with challenges such as high water prices and difficult-to-afford housing. Gathered in Saint-Laurent, the unions demand salaries adapted to the cost of living. In Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, a mobilization occurred in several services, including schools, hospitals, and administrations. The national strike movement is followed in several sectors of the archipelago on Tuesday, September 29. The unions highlight purchasing power, pay during sick leave and the cost of medical evacuations. Social mobilization is increasing on Tuesday, September 29 in Guadeloupe. Public sector unions are strongly mobilized against the government's budgetary orientations, especially the freeze on the index point. The education sector is strongly disrupted with 74 schools closed and 8 secondary institutions blocked. In the private sector as well, disruptions are recorded at the call of the CGTG, which has submitted a renewable strike notice. The national mobilization in the public sector has concrete consequences on Tuesday in Martinique. Several schools and municipal services are closed, notably in Fort-de-France and the Lamentin. For families, this strike day turns into a headache between class absence, childcare and disrupted school meals.
