Strikes in France are another illustration that the French model is broken. Because the state has a monopoly on crucial services it gives the employees the power to take the French population (and politicians) hostage and essentially bully them into submission (more pay, less work is the usual theme). The French still work along the revolutionary lines of 1789 and have not yet graduated to resolving fundamental social items outside of the street. This is why I left France and only return on holidays. It makes for a fascinating social museum though.
