General strike

This action marked the first general strike in an industrialized nation since the 2008 financial crisis. French students became frustrated by a lack of government support to workers, as well as high youth unemployment and low funding for education. Sit-ins, strikes, and other demonstrations were organized in opposition to the proposed austerity measures.
