There were strikes today in France. We had been warned in advance by our ever present union buddys who man the doors on the way into work handing out leaflets. There are a hell of a lot of people at this site because there is also a chip fabrication plant here, so there is a proper modern factory feel to the place, and the unions are very noticable. Unfortunately the engineers didn't get the afternoon off as it didn't seem to apply to us. Probably for the best as I wouldn't have got paid. Anyway, it seems all the fun was had in Paris where the Police had to use tear gas. Citizen Smith used to wear a beret didn't he? It didn't affect me in the slightest as I don't need an excuse to avoid public transport...
