Trains, classrooms and businesses will be disrupted in France as workers walk off their jobs in bid to derail planned pension reform
Trains will grind to a halt in France, classrooms will be shut, and businesses will be disrupted as workers walk off their jobs in an attempt to derail a planned pension reform that would see the retirement age pushed up by two years to 64.
The challenge for unions, which are far less powerful in France than they used to be, is whether they can transform that opposition to the reform — and anger with a cost-of-living crisis — into a mass social protest that would last beyond Thursday and eventually get the government to back-track. The reform still needs to go through parliament, where Macron has lost his absolute majority but is hoping to get it adopted with the support of conservatives.Only between one-in-three and one-in-five high-speed TGV lines will be operating, with barely any local or regional trains running, the SNCF rail operator said.
