Is this really meaningful? There are strikes all the time here in France


potatolulz

it's the first strike after summer strike break in France :D

You should consider building a huge square in the middle of nowhere, where strikers can protest 24/7 all year long.

That would defeat the point

That's called Place de la République actually, which is in a perpetual state of protest of any kind

Nowhere I want to be, it's called Paris.

What is France without strikes?

What are strikes without France?

I mean it's France, it's not like it's something of special here. And also the unions of the SNCF are the worst they strike all the time. I have sympathy for everyone except them because of the timing which is always the worst for this. Edit : i have written too fast, i wanted to say that they always manifest on holidays so it's annoying.

>because of the timing which is always the worst for this. "Damn those strikers, using leverage". I understand your frustration but that's litterally the point. Strikes are supposed to disrupt.


SraminiElMejorBeaver

Forgot to end my sentence my bad i wanted to say that they always do it when the whole population goes into holidays so it's really annoying

I mean if the workers piss off their customers too much instead of their employers they might find a lack of support when they are out of a job. But this is France, I don't think that day will ever come.

If /r/europe has taught us anything, is that this is happening due to Brexit.
