Power to the people! If you don't like workers who strike, then go live somewhere else where it's not tolerated - like China or the US. There are many social models in the world. The neo-liberal one is not the best for everyone. If the French want to protect their lifestyle, then they are 100% correct to strike. I've lived there for more than 16 years. It is changing...but slower than some other European countries. Maybe those who point to Britain's liberal economy can suggest an alternative to Thatcherism's way of dealing with unionised labour? If the choice is between slow change and fighting on the streets like we saw in the 80s in the UK, then I will always choose slow change.
