FRANCE TODAY : MASS DEMONSTRATION AND STRIKES


Today Wednesday March 9, 2016 all over France demonstrations are planned and railways workers are on strike !

The original reason is the changes planned to employee rights in the proposed "El Khomri Law", name of the Minister of Employment.   It aims to make redundancies easier which then would permit  more employment.  This then will reduce the number of the out of work in France.   

Train workers are striking to protest against the renegotiation of their conditions of employment.

All this has attracted secondary school pupils and Students  who also intend to join in the revolts.  To see the Young and Students in the Streets strikes fear into any Government !  It is a reminder of what happened in 1968 and afterwards ! 

TheGovernment has said it was ready to go to the end of its reform.   We shall see what the real Knock-on effect is in the coming weeks !
