OMG they really do.
I remember when I lived in Germany, French Truckers had a protest where they parked hundreds of trucks on highways and basically shut down the highways in France.
You know how the French people reacted?
They brought the truckers food and water so they would not go hungry.
The solidarity of the French is no bullshit!
In america you block a road and your likely to get murdered
…by a fellow worker who will not be prosecuted because “they were just defending themselves”
Can’t be late to work. Will get fired and replaced by ai. Which means no healthcare, no house, no food.
That’ll happen either way, if we let the people who would have stood in solidarity with us protest alone and be fired themselves. I’m not telling you what to do, but you’re not protecting yourself
If the wannabe oligarchs get their way, that'll happen anyway....
True, a job means healthcare and a house. Right?
The solidarity of the French is no bullshit!
Fraternité motherfuckers!
Everyone should spend time working in France. Yes I realize how insanely privileged that statement is. But something about working amongst a people where the janitor doesn't even pretend to take shit from the CEO and leaves a conversation in the middle because it's break time, is inspiring.
At least see first hand how they work. I work for myself so I try to imitate their style. I don't need to go on strike but I'll drop a client if they're being stupid.
Had this happen to me in Berlin. Customer rep just looked at her watch and left. Granted, it was at an airport very late in the evening, so circumstances were unusually shit, but still. I was amazed.
I admire the French, even envy them a bit. I would like to have been born French.
But, since I wasn't I don't want anything to do with them.
Since you weren't neither do they.
Ouch, right in my croissant shaped heart.
But that’s true… Merde, that’s true.
I'm taking notes
They also have mobile bars (basicaly a food truck, except you can buy food or drink as it moves along the protest).
Source : I'm French, and protested. It's kinda like those who run to keep in shape. We protest instead.
Dang, I wonder if the true winner here is the food truck owner...
Depend if you count getting regularly tear gased as a win 😂.
If there was another French Revolution, you know that they’d have guillotines on tram tracks
I have a feeling that there's like one or two of these. It's very often the case when reading a post saying how "X of country Y do this".
I've read some wildly misleading shit about Finland that was like this lol
Iirc, it’s the train conductors’ union, which makes sense. If they’re not involved, I wouldn’t trust using the tracks.
French unionist here, and the CGT Barbecue is like a national food here
