Government Workers In France Dig Their Fingernails In

J.J. Jackson* | November 15, 2007 

This is what happens once socialism is entrenched. Those on it will fight tooth and nail to keep it.PARIS (Reuters) - Striking French transport and energy workers caused widespread disruption for the second time in a month on Wednesday in a protest over pensions that is the biggest test yet of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s reform drive.

Train services were disrupted and energy production capacity was reduced, but there were signs the stoppage might come to a swift end after unions and the government agreed a compromise over negotiating methods.

“The president thinks there is a chance for the spirit of responsibility to find a way out of the conflict,” said presidential spokesman David Martinon.

Sarkozy has broad public support for the reform which aims to bring generous pension provisions for about 500,000 public sector workers in line with those of all other workers ahead of a general pension reform next year.

France has too many parasites who survive only by taking from others. This is just the begining.
