After several weeks of negotiations between the French government and IFJ-affiliated journalists' unions (SNJ, SNJ-CGT, CFDT-Journalistes), a decree to financially support those who lose part of their work was published on Friday, April 17. The decree sets out the conditions in each company for pigistes - often the most isolated and precarious workers - to receive assistance.
A joint statement was signed by around 30 French organisations, unions, collectives and associations of journalists, including the IFJ.
