Last June, the National Committee of the CNRS [1] appealed denouncing the policy choices
of the government and proposing an alternative budget. The Inter supported the initiative
but so far struggled to build a real mobilization. A window is opened with the successful
mobilization walk Sciences. ---- The initiative Sciences on, part of a first Montpellier
Committee, called for the organization of marches around three key words: creating
statutory employment; recurrent funding (that is to say, not depending on calls for
proposals) labs and facs; PhD recognition in collective agreements. ---- The convergence
of markets in Paris gathered between 5000 and 10 000 demonstrators in Paris on 17 October.
The beginning of the mobilization had however been complicated. One of the organizers
wanted to build a mobilization "apolitical" sticking to the three claims, getting the most
out of institutional support (academics, facs presidents, Unesco science prize winners,
start-up ...), so spread the unions considered too "radicals" and limiting the local
committees of the relay.
Be part
This approach is reminiscent of the mobilization of 2004, which left a bitter taste in
many advocates and activists. Indeed, once past mass mobilization and summer, the
government pulled the rug from under the feet of the movement by diverting its claims to
make the pact for research, ancestor of the LRU law whose consequences we suffer Today
(autonomy facs, logical excellence, evaluation and certification of teachers, researchers,
etc.). The movement is merely discuss the form (should manifest scroll backwards or white
blouses?) And not at the bottom, he found himself completely helpless.
Another part of the movement, especially where unions are committed seeks to involve the
largest number of staff in both debate and action, and goes to the exchange of ideas with
the "ecumenical" fringe . Unfortunately, some union teams, scalded by busting a part of
the movement and the commitment of management was at best skeptical or downright against.
More protest action
Events have finally validated the strategy of involvement in the movement. First Science
on, and unit directors are well positioned face-first against fires send by Fioraso and
mandarins, the three remaining claims. Then some of the committees walking Sciences is
committed of a more demanding approach, particularly in the Paris region, and is working
with the unions. This is what has allowed the successful mobilization of 17 October.
Of course, Fioraso remains straight in his boots. The first challenge is to expand general
meetings (so far remained low) to strengthen the movement. The direction of the latter is
now exploded between trade unions (themselves divided: Science on, the national committee,
unit managers). No doubt the success of 17 he will encourage them to work together.
Fioraso returning the responsibility of austerity in government and trying to get personal
for prime-es, the movement will be forced to become politicized. The three claims are
currently the guarantee of unity, but it will discuss more broadly restructuring in
research, working conditions and wages, widespread austerity beyond the environment to
build a movement consistent.
