So it's possible that people back home know about the strikes here in France, either from me directly or from articles such as this in the SF Chronicle (if the French strikes make American news, it's a big deal, because they strike all the time and are mostly ignored by international media). Then to make things worse, today I read this French Trains Hit By Sabotage
Not that I have any travel plans until I head to Charles de Gaulle airport to see my honey on Xmas day, but still, this is ri-goddamn-diculous. All because the train workers think they are entitled to their 37-year pension plan while the rest of France has a 40-year plan. Get over it already, people's lives are being seriously fucked up.
There was a teachers' union strike yesterday too (pics to come) but it was only a one-day thing and I don't think people's daily lives were too affected (unless they happened to be driving through downtown Troyes yesterday while the roads were barricaded).
Goddamn France...
