France on Strike - December 1995- Public Workers And Students Fight Back

France on Strike - December 1995 (54 min) In 1995 in France a massive national strike took place of railway workers, education workers and public service workers to protest the attack on their pensions and on public services. This video from news footage shows the power of the strike, the democratic process of workers voting and discussing the strike in every location and the eventual victory of the national public workers strike. The lessons of this strike for other public workers around the world are important in showing how to organize a militant and democratic struggle.
