Have to agree with Fiero88, there are increasing numbers of the French workforce who work in the private sector and who are getting well and truly hacked off with this. Listening to various news reports here and reading some of today's papers I think patience is in short supply. The right to strike may well be a right here but many now seem to feel it is a right that is being exercised far too often...never mind, it'll all stop when it starts raining.
