Public sector workers entered their 30th day of industrial action on Friday – the longest protest in France since 1986, when transport workers demonstrated for 28 days.
The latest dispute doesn't seem to have an end in sight, with trade unions criticizing Macron for "living in his own bubble."
There will be a new round of talks between government officials and trade unionists Tuesday. Workers are set to take to the streets again later next week. "What has he said that was new about this famous social … reform? Nothing. I have heard this speech 1000 times before. We have the impression that the President of the Republic has closed himself within his own bubble," Philippe Martinez, secretary general of the General Confederation of Labour, a trade union, told BFM TV Wednesday.
