Hundreds of thousands hit streets of France in nationwide action against budget cuts, welfare freezes
Protests and strikes called by unions the latest challenge to Macron and his new Prime Minister
www.theglobeandmail.com
“There’s already no money for soaps in the toilets, no money to fix a seat when it’s broken,”

“Our pay is stuck, colleagues are leaving, and wards are closing beds,”
“For us it’s the same story: less money in our pockets, fewer hands to help, more pressure every day.”
…and some union guy who is French Rambo:
“For decades we’ve been the ones paying for the rich, paying for the billionaires, paying for the capitalists and they’ve emptied our pockets. And today, supposedly, we must repay the debt, and once again it’s only the workers who are asked to pay, whether we’re employed, disabled, or retired.”
