What are the French Fighting about now?

Would you believe that the French are fighting to keep a system that basically guarantees them employment, health care, a generous pension, and 7 - 8 weeks of vacation each year? Oh, I forgot the 35 hour work week. All regulated by the government. On the downside, just how many of you would want to stay in your first job out of school for your entire life? How many would want such rigid restrictions on our careers and occupations? Most of us have more ambition than that. Not so with the French. Those with jobs are fighting to keep the system as it is. Those without jobs are trying to break the system.
