Hi,

Little OT ...
Those of you familiar with the union 'structure' in France will already know that the unions currently causing the 'troubles' only represent a tiny percentage of the total work force.
The French worker is one of the least unionized in Europe (I think the Germans and Italians are the champions)
But in France .. when unions move (I mean in general) it's not just union members that move .. but the people following ... and all go in the street.
In France the democracy is expressed by ballot .. but it is also expressed in the street .. more than anywhere else ...
This must be the memories of the revolution .. and as I know .. there was not many people for take the Bastille ..
