The strike at the Paris Samu social, which had a "very strong impact" on the 115 hotline, was called off after "57 days of mobilization," the CGT announced on August 20, 2026. Following the achievement of "significant progress," the striking staff mandated the CGT to sign a conflict-resolution agreement that "formalizes the end of the strike this Tuesday, August 18," the union wrote in a statement sent on August 20.
