Monaco unions call strike over pension reform on 23 September
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Trade unions in Monaco are mobilising against proposed changes to the Caisse Autonome des Retraites, with a walkout planned for 23 September 2026.
A planned reform to Monaco's independent pension fund, the Caisse Autonome des Retraites, has drawn sharp opposition from the Principality's trade unions, who argue the changes would erode the rights of both workers and retirees. A work stoppage is scheduled for Tuesday 23 September, with unions calling on members across sectors to participate.
Beyond the pension overhaul, union demands extend to a revaluation of salaries and the creation of a dedicated training account for employees. The combination of grievances signals a broader frustration with the direction of labour policy in Monaco, rather than opposition to a single measure.
For residents and property owners, the 23 September action could affect public-facing services across the Principality. Those with appointments or travel plans dependent on municipal or administrative services that day are advised to check for disruptions in advance.
