Vive la grève!
(An old drawing for a French July, or “juillet,”calendar submission).
That means “Long live the strike!” The French will have to find other ways to get to work!
It wouldn’t be France if people weren’t in the streets objecting to something, and not suffering alone. While I’m overwhelmed with work, and still underpaid, I am in total solidarity with them, whatever the cause! I enormously enjoyed their last transit strike. The cameraderie was what got us all to work on foot, feeling rather invigorated. At least, that was the case for those of us who are constitutionally capable of cameraderie.
Basically, the question is this: What’s the point in being French and in France if you’re going to have to live under American working conditions?
