Le Monde Staffers To Strike

Le Monde's management announced last week that 130 jobs would have to go, two-thirds of which will be in the newsroom. The newsroom cuts represent one in four journalists or about 87 staff.

I love the French! If they don't like what a business is doing they strike, unlike their American counterparts who just let business run them over. And we make fun of French cowardice.It's we American workers who are cowards. Vive La France!
