Over 800,000 workers and youth across France marched in protest against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension cuts yesterday, while rail and mass transit workers and broader sections of the public sector workforce continued strikes launched on December 5. The strike is again demonstrating the vast social power of the working class. French train traffic and mass transit in Paris remain virtually shut down, and over 10 percent of public school staff are on strike. On Tuesday, large groups of high school and university students joined the protests throughout France.
