The postal workers are striking because they don’t want to be privatized, but competition from the EU is forcing this change. They’ll lose. Maybe privatization will come differently than it’s currently proposed, but it will still come.
The metro workers are also striking. The metro still runs, however; it’s just slower and more crowded than usual. I didn’t know why they were striking, so I asked a Frenchman, “Why are they striking?”
“Because they must!”
“But why?”
He looked at me like I was crazy. “Because they’re French!”
Of course.
