French unions pledge to call more pension protests
With another pension protest planned for Saturday, French unions say that they will call for more protests. The leaders said that they were planning something for the week of November 22, and that the details would be finalized on Monday. Saturday's protests are seen as a test of the public's desire to continue protesting the pension bill, which will raise the retirement age. Union leaders say that they will not end protests when the bill becomes law.
