French workers are set to take to the streets Thursday to protest radical reforms to the country’s pension system that, if implemented, will require most people in France to work two years longer before retirement.

Eight of France’s largest unions - covering transportation, education, police, executives and public sectors - called for Thursday to be the “first day of strikes and protests” against the proposed pensions reform. Widespread strikes are expected, and it may be “a hellish Thursday” on public transport networks, Transport Minister Clement Beaune warned French broadcaster France 2 Tuesday. Paris’ transport authority predicts “very disrupted” service on the city’s transport network.

“If we don’t pass this reform the books will not be balanced, which means that we will have to lower the pensions for retired people or increase the contributions of working people, thus reducing purchasing power of French people,” Government MP Stephanie Rist told CNN Wednesday. Despite anger on the street, the government - lacking a parliamentary majority - still has a constitutional avenue to crowbar the reforms past lawmakers and into law.

フランスの労働者は木曜日、国の年金制度に対する急進的な改革に抗議するために街頭に出る予定である.この改革が実施されれば、フランスのほとんどの人は定年までに2年間長く働く必要がある。

👏
