Workers Strike Across France Today over Macron's Pensions Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------

In France, workers across the country are on strike today, as a protest
against French President Emmanuel Macron's pension plan. The strikes
have paralyzed transport in the capital Paris and other major French
cities, but residents whose commute have been disrupted are still
expressing support for the strike.

French Commuter: "The strike is really for our pensions, and I think we
still need to fight for it, even more so as I'm a civil servant and
we're pretty much impacted."
