The essentials
The CGT Vaucluse has called a national strike for 5 November, while cost-of-living protests continue with a 24 October round.
The CGT Vaucluse has called for a national strike on 5 November, according to reporting. The call places a strike date about two weeks after the second round of cost-of-living protests, scheduled for 24 October.
The cost-of-living protests are continuing, and the reporting presents the 24 October round as part of that ongoing movement rather than a separate one.
The available material does not say whether the 5 November strike has been endorsed beyond the CGT Vaucluse, how many people it is expected to involve, or which sectors it targets.
Both items rest on a single report each, so the dates and details should be treated as provisional.

Two Dates Set for Cost-of-Living Protests and a Union Strike
Read in sequence, the reported dates form a near-term run of action. A second round of cost-of-living protests is set for 24 October, and the CGT Vaucluse has called a national strike for 5 November. The reporting gives no further dates beyond these two, leaving the period after 5 November unclear.
CGT Vaucluse Places Its Strike Call Within a Wider Protest Cycle
From the perspective of the union's call, the 5 November strike is positioned as part of an ongoing cost-of-living dispute rather than a single day of action. The reporting describes the cost-of-living protests as continuing, which places the CGT Vaucluse call alongside them. The sources do not say how union members or other organisations will respond.
