The French Strike...
Well, that's not much of a surprise, is it. This time, they're striking because the government is thinking about raising the amount of time that someone can legally work from 35 hours a week, to 48 hours. There were protests all over the country, of course. The police estimate 30,000 people protested in Paris, while the unions estimate 90,000.
Hmmmmm, sounds to me like another excuse not to go to work...
