The first actions are expected Monday, as truckers are being urged to block major highway arteries and interchanges in go-slow actions dubbed “escargot” (snail) operations. Unions plan an open-ended strike on the national rail service starting Monday evening.
The government is bracing for the biggest disruptions on Tuesday, when strikes are expected across multiple sectors and protests are planned in cities across France against the retirement bill. The reform, which would raise the official pension age from 62 to 64 and require 43 years of work to earn a full pension, is currently under debate in parliament.
“There will be a very strong impact” from the strikes, Transport Minister Clement Beaune said on regional broadcaster France-3 on Sunday. “I know that for many people it will be a real headache.”
Increasing the retirement age is another way of cheating the creditors. Finding ways to kill them before the benefits dates are another.
Promise unsustainable lavish socialist benefits to gain and keep power, then withdraw them later. Seems to be a standard ploy, once the population is at the pleasure of the State.
Haha expressing disagreement is legitimate but you must do as we tell you anyways. We need to pay our PHAT globalist salaries! Now eat bugz! macron = traitor

Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt, speaking on the FranceInfo news broadcaster on Monday, said “expressing disagreement is legitimate, yet it must not lead to blocking the country, which would be dangerous to our economy.”
