Let the strikes begin!

French people are back from vacation, fall is in full swing and winter is peeking in the door...time for strikes!

It's Monday, November 6th and there are already 2 strikes planned for this week:

Train and bus employees are striking for some reason...which probably means the goverment workers will join in...just because...

All French smokers are protesting the new no smoking ban that will go into effect next year. From what I understand there has been a ban in place that says no smoking in public places, but nobody pays attention to it...so I guess their revising it...nobody is going to pay attention to it when it does go into effect next year - everybody knows that - but they're striking anyway.

The love their strikes here...
