McDonalds 1, French strikers 0. McDonalds barges in like a steer in a Roquefort cheese factory to leave French strikers as energetic as a pile of soggy French Freedom fries. In order to counter the strike by its school canteen staff, the management of the Robespierre middle school in Epinay-sur-Seine ordered 160 meals from McDonalds to feed its students taken hostage (nutritionally speaking) by the strikers. The manoeuvre stunned the strikers who were counting on hungry protestations of the students to amplify their demands. One student declared, 'When can we do that again?'. The strike was called off this Friday. (source: Libération print edition 21 June) UPDATE: Le Parisien states that approximately 10 teachers at the school attempted to block delivery of the McDonalds meals.
