“we need to preserve the job, because the telecom sector is one of sectors that has not suffered from this period,” says the boss of the CGT, Philippe Martinez on Tuesday morning, at the microphone of France Inter.

We are talking about aerospace, for example, ADP and others, but also of those which, structurally, are already in trouble. This is the case of trade, for example, or the textile”.
