It's interesting. It seems the French are able to hold successful strikes, unlike Americans, because they don't have thousands of people so desperate for work that they will work for any amount. In America, you can't threaten to strike because if you do, someone else will just take your job and you will have nothing. Not so in France apparently...not that there aren't hundreds of people searching/willing to work here, but they will not get hired. Here it's a combination of strong unions, racism and anti-immigrant working laws that keep the French able to fight back. Workers still rule over here; unfortunately, so does racism.
