This photo of civil servants on strike in Blois yesterday comes from fellow Blésois, Jon. The banner is asking for higher salaries for better quality service. I love the colourful flags.
Cette photo de fonctionnaires en grève à Blois nous vient d’un autre blésois, Jon. J’aime bien les drapeaux bien colorés.

Impressive. What do all the flags represent?
Unions are organised very differently in France and are completely political. It means that each profession has several unions at the same time. This demonstration includes three different left-wing unions: CGT, FO and the smaller FSU. You find the same unions in most other professions.
Quite a crowd of them!
The French love a good strike!
