The turnout was lower than union estimates for the last weekend demonstration on Oct. 2 against the pension bill, which is due to be voted on in the Senate upper house next week.
France's CGT and CFDT unions said that between 2.5 million and 3 million people joined marches across France on Saturday in a long-running nationwide protest against an unpopular pension reform. The turnout was lower than union estimates for the last weekend demonstration on Oct. 2 against the pension bill, which is due to be voted on in the Senate upper house next week.
