France Paralyzed by Nationwide Strike

For the second time this year hundreds of thousands of French workers have rallied to protest against the government’s handling of the current economic crisis and rising unemployment that has afflicted the country.

The protests, organized by French unions, have led to a nationwide strike that has produced rallies in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and more than 200 towns across the country. Unions have expressed outrage over President Nicolas Sarkozy’s policies which they say have produced little relief as more than two million people are now out of work.

As a result of the strikes France has experienced major disruptions in transportation as well as seen schools closed while private-sector companies have been operating with a depleted workforce as many employees have joined the rallies against Sarkozy.

Much of the ire directed at Sarkozy has concentrated on his plans to cut public sector jobs as well as his unwillingness to increase minimum wage.
