Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has offered to withdrawal the proposal which would have raised the age at which workers can claim their pension from 62 to 64. The CFDT welcomes this but the CGT union however is still pushing for an end to the plans for pension reform. Looks like the French government resolve for pensions reforms is weakening.
