Well, the French are playing strike again, and the scale seems to be not small: there was an hour-long delay at the baggage claim in the VIP lane, because there was not enough manpower, and the airport personnel went on strike in batches in addition to those responsible for security!

That's right, it's one of the types of fancy strikes that are played in batches and have French characteristics.

At this time, many of the security inspectors were sent to other parts of the airport for emergency response, and there were more than half of the people here, and it took two or three times longer than usual to register the firearms of Paul and others.

The attaché, who had taken a long time and waited anyway, quickly figured out the details of the strike: the strike that everyone saw this time was in solidarity, because the French railway system was dissatisfied with the welfare of the general strike, and the employees of the airlines and airports decided to support it.

Zhang Nan's gang is not the worst luck, and the airport is at least open, because the air traffic controllers, like the police, are not allowed to strike in France by law.

And from today onwards, the French railway system is directly paralyzed, and many stations are the iron generals!

"Last year, the French railway company increased its earnings by 4.5 percentage points, but this year's employee salary increase plan is 2.2%, so the railway union decided to talk to the railway company..."

Listening to the attaché's inquiry, Zhang Nan smiled and shook his head: Fortunately, he didn't open the company in France, otherwise how would this company be opened?

If you have nothing to do, you will go on strike and add blockage, will you be fired and replaced?

As long as the newcomer is still French, I'll give it to you next time!

The boss has to strike when he makes more money, the boss's business is not good, if you want to reduce your salary at this time and get through the difficulties together, people will guarantee that you will also strike!

Zhang Nan was a little puzzled: if it were done in the United States and in China 20 years later, as soon as the strike stopped, everyone would basically need to find a new job.

It's not that the boss fired you, but the boss is also unemployed and bankrupt: the vast majority of companies can afford such a fuss, not to mention the liquidated damages and capital chain rupture caused by the delay in product production, even the interest on bank loans can make the owner jump off the building!

The bank doesn't care if you go on strike or not, when the time comes, you have to repay the loan and refinance, and you don't have to show face.

But in France, none of this seems to be a problem, and it's kind of interesting.

There is a lounge at the baggage claim area of the VIP access, which Zhang Nan will sit on the sofa and find that the boss is a little interested in the cute, proud and willful Frenchman, and Andre on the other side said: "200 years of great revolutionary spirit, more than 100 years of tradition of the labor movement, more than 30 years of high welfare influence, and many years of successful experience in strikes and demands, this strike has become a part of French culture."

Looking at the data alone, the French go on strike more than three times the average in Western Europe each year. ”

"You still have research on strikes, it's all culture, it's kind of interesting. ”

It was Guan Xingquan who spoke, and he knew that the Gallic rooster had a lot of problems over the years, which can be seen from the fact that there were almost no French employees in the "United Forces", but he had never paid attention to the strike culture of the French.

Americans can also play strikes, but they are definitely not as ordinary as the French, let alone have a strike culture.

Besides, the general strike on the railways in France is your airline's business!

It's all incomprehensible and incomprehensible!

In response to Guan Xingquan's question, André smiled and said: "We will never understand what the romantic France is thinking, they have a lot of strikes, and the French labor law even has a special definition and classification of these different strikes."

For example, there is the so-called warning strike, which is to stop work for a short period of time to put pressure on employers;

There is a bottleneck strike, and the key department or key time is specially selected to stop work, and it hits the key point!

There are rotational strikes, in which different departments or types of work in the enterprise take turns to stop working;

There are also solidarity strikes, that is, the cessation of work in support of strikers in other industries or enterprises, and this time we have clearly encountered the latter two situations combined.

Actually, the boss, it's the French who have a too comfortable life.

In a high-welfare state, workers work as little as 35 hours a week, and have seven weeks of paid vacation per year, and if they have to work overtime, the overtime pay is so high that it can bankrupt the business owner.

In fact, France has implemented a minimum wage system since the 60s, and salaries will be raised at least once a year according to the rate of price increases.

But that's it, the French still love to go on strike and definitely won't let business owners and the government leave more money. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan interjected: "Jerry said that the French like autumn strikes, what is the saying here?"

Too hot in summer, too cold in winter, just right in autumn, and the strikes and marches are lukewarm?

Zhang Nan estimated that this possibility is not very likely, and there should be some other reasons.

André explained that France would enter the peak of strikes as soon as the summer vacation ended in September every year, because this was the time when the French National Assembly was discussing the budget for the next year.

In order to fight for more welfare, some public institutions have begun to organize strikes and put pressure on the government and Congress in hopes of getting an extra slice of the budget.

The world's workforce can be divided into two parts: those who work in the public sector and those who work in private companies and institutions, and the same is true in France, which includes civil servants and people who work in public institutions such as hospitals, railways and post offices, which account for about one-third of the entire working population in France.

These people basically don't lose their jobs easily, and it's these people who love to strike the most, and this trip is obviously the same.

As for the airlines, once they are united, it will be awesome, technicians, you can't take all the people away, otherwise you will be paralyzed immediately.

I have to sigh, this person can't live too comfortably, too comfortable will have too many ideas, too many ideas will be unstable, unstable people bosses don't like it.

I finally got through the check-in formalities and got into the bulletproof cars that I had been waiting for, but as soon as I arrived in the city of Bordeaux, I was delayed again: the road was temporarily blocked.

Good guys, when I met the parade team, I looked lively and lively like a festival, and everyone didn't shout slogans or anything, but carried slogans and walked easily.

The only thing that was incongruous was that there were a lot of loaded guns on both sides of the procession, and the policemen with shields followed closely.

Zhang Nan was in a car with Charlie, Guan Xingquan, Lin Ming, and Andre, seeing this situation from a distance, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Xiucai's rebellion has not been successful for ten years, I think these people are all middle-class, and these policemen are really, how nervous they are, how do I feel that these policemen just have nothing to do to brush up their sense of existence." ”

I didn't think about it and said to Andre who was sitting: "Boss, you're really right." Physical clashes between marchers and police officers are almost uncommon in France, unlike in the United States.

The police are heavily armed and practically unhappy if the police do not do so, as it may indicate that the government is not taking their strike seriously enough. ”

"Hah!"

Zhang Nan can only say ha, otherwise what else can he say?

The romantic French, the French who feel too good about themselves, are spoiled by the French, no wonder there are no French veterans in their security company: just this virtue can only rely on the Foreign Legion to support the façade.

A country's army has to rely on foreign legions and mercenaries to prop up its façade, no matter how strong it is, it's a joke!

After the procession had passed and the blockade was lifted, the convoy was on the road again, arriving at its destination more than 30 kilometers later: Sauternes, the quintessential botryt-producing region of Bordeaux, located in the south of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Garonne River.

At the highest point of the region, the only Grand Cru Cru and the quaint Château de Lysalus are located, overlooking more than 100 hectares of vineyards radiating from the gentle slopes of the surrounding hills.
