Teachers, transport workers, police, lawyers, hospital and airport staff were among those who took part in Thursday's general walkout.
Some trade union leaders have vowed to strike until Mr Macron abandons his campaign promise to overhaul the retirement system."We're going to protest for a week at least, and at the end of that week it's the government that's going to back down," Patrick Dos Santos, a Paris transport employee, told Reuters.
Mr Macron's unified system - which he says would be fairer - would reward employees for each day worked, awarding points that would later be transferred into future pension benefits.
Pay attention everyone- this is direct result of previous socialist governments. Riots, demos, unrest. Their past promises were unaffordable.
logansteven Watch and learn fam. Watch and learn.
Macron dragging France kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.
Vote Labour and we will return to this.
Why Macron will never be a serious leader in France or Europe :
Nasty french protesters, much worse than those nice ones in HK who fight off those nasty horrible gangs of police that wander around terrorising pedestrians
If the governments of the west are set on patronizing the people with lies and deceit , when most of the population in western countries are more educated than the leaders, it becomes a problem. Using 1800s politics isn’t going to cut anymore.!
Macron endearing himself to the masses. I’m predicting this ends just the way you’d think.
When you run out of other people’s money
so clean
