French Plan Strike To Protest Sarkozy's Pension Plan

French Plan Strike To Protest Sarkozy's Pension Plan

Public transport is set to begin grinding to a halt in France tonight, utility workers are threatening to curb electricity production, and theaters will go dark as the nation girds for its second strike in a month.

The protest against President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to roll back pension privileges is due to widen next week when teachers and civil servants are set to walkout in opposition to his efforts to deregulate labor and services markets.
