French strikers angry about pension reform cut power to homes, companies

PARIS - France’s trade unions on Wednesday defended their decision to cut power to thousands of homes, companies and even the Bank of France to force the government to drop a wide-ranging pension reform.

Asked on French radio whether the power cuts weren’t a step too far, Philippe Martinez, the head of the hardline CGT union, said the cuts were necessary to force Macron to back down. Martinez’ remarks coincided with comments by Macron’s office saying the president ruled out abandoning his reform plans but was keen to make improvements in talks with unions, ahead of a new day of talks between his prime minister and union leaders.

“Cutting power to ...companies, prefectures, shopping malls, that’s already rather questionable,” Elisabeth Borne said.

I imagine that's quire sobering for aloof, pampered elitists.
