la greve generale general protest january 29 2009

La Grève!

Just a heads up to those interested: There will be a huge strike on Thursday, January 29. Everywhere. Nearly Everyone. La Grève générale ! A general strike. I hope there will be a huge turnout. What is is about? Pretty much everything: the financial crisis, weak purchasing power, human rights, etc. It is basically the reaction of La rage du peuple! Be prepared to face some huge perturbations especially if you need to get anywhere. The syndicates are saying this will be absolutely immense, bigger than ever before.

La Grève!!!

I would just say, yay France, the only country where people are still free enough to have the right and the guts to strike !

Bravo! Unions and people working together…now there’s a concept! We can learn by their example. People need to stand up for their rights together!
If I were there I’d be standing with them!
