I spend quite a bit of time in Paris and unfortunately strikes are such a way of life in France that I hardly notice. The RER suburban services seem to be affected by some sort of strike action almost half the time. This is more unusual when the main lines are affected so badly. What is most depressing is the completely selfish attitude of the strikers all the time with their total disregard for the severe inconvenience suffered by passengers. You would think that with several million unemployed it would be possible to find enough railwaymen who would actually be prepared to work. I understand they're not exactly low paid.
