The Strike-Wave in France:
A First-hand Analysis

a talk by Jean-Pierre Page

Wednesday, February 7 at 8 pm


The wave of strikes that paralyzed France for almost three
weeks in November and December 1995 was the most massive
rejection of "structural adjustment" and the basic tenets of
neo-liberalism yet seen. What were the gains for the French
trade union movement? What are the implications for France and
European unity? What are some possible international
ramifications?

Jean-Pierre Page is the head of the International Department
of the French General Confederation of Labor (CGT).

Admission is $6.
