Current Affairs Rail strikes

[Jebus_lives]

Not just a British problem. France are, unsurprisingly, on strike, so my train back from Brussels tomorrow has been canned. I can't remember now if the French rail companies are supposed to be great and their ownership of ours is bad or what.

Don't the French have laws that stop their workers striking?!? I've been told they have all week by Tory Ministers.

No idea. I've been stultified by a combination of EUese and a 3.30 start so am mentally in the pub.

I'm going to assume it was a Tory lie.

If you're still in Brussels get yourself to Delirium or La Morte Subite.

Tell that to the millions marching tomorrow.lol
There is a coordinated day of action, a general strike.
Macron has asked the striking people to not bring the country to a standstill;
Some chance!

They have minimum service levels.
But they only cover risk of life.
Not transport education ect.

I was being sarcastic.

Sorry. Should've used the sarcasm font.

Current widespread strikes are part of the on-going protests against the Macron pension reform proposals.
Of course the Eurostar trains and crews may have their own disputes.

Brussels: Due to demographic pressure the European workforce is due to shrink by 30 million people by 2050
Europe: We don't want migration ffs and would rather pay huge sums to Turkey to keep people out
France: you even dare raise the retirement age to extend the working life by even a fraction and we'll burn stuff down.

Joined. Up. Thinking.
