November 14, 2007
France is suffering travel chaos after transport and energy workers broadened a strike in protest against President Nicolas Sarkozy’s pension reform.
Rail services were severely disrupted and energy production reduced in the open-ended action over cuts affecting some 500,000 public sector workers.
Thousands of commuters were forced to improvise their journey to work.
The government and the unions have resumed talks but there are fears the stoppage could last for several days.

Thanks for sharing these great thoughts. I’m bookmarking this for future reference. Some of these I already do, so the point resonated most strongly with me. Keep feeding the creativity.
I am currently on holiday so, for this reason, I’ve nothing better to do than surf the web for travel ideas, lie around and update my blog. Well, more or less anyway
