France: 1.5 million strike against Sarkozy’s policies

Some 1.5 million out of a total of 5 million public service
workers participated in a one-day strike called by the French
unions on Tuesday to oppose President Nicolas Sarkozy’s policies
of job cuts and attacks on public services, and to demand higher
wages to compensate for sharp rises in living costs.
