After a meeting with Philippe Martinez, the leader of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) union, Khomri said that the two sides did not find consensus. For his part, Martinez said, there are points of disagreement between the CGT and the government on basic things.
The leader of the union stressed its demand for rewriting or withdrawing several key articles of the bill. The union has already called for more street marches on June 23 and 28.
