Yellow vests in mass strike as Macron government pushes through new anti-protest laws
French public workers participated in a walkout today against President Macron’s policy to seek for a fairer tax system and higher salaries. The movement had slowed over the past few weeks, however, was reignited as negotiations are still in progress 12 weeks in. Higher education and research unions, along with commuter rail unions have mobilized for a mass walkout, disrupting planned service in Paris and regions outside the city.
