Some 10,000 hospital workers demonstrated January 28 in Paris against the budget cutbacks proposed by the government of Socialist Party premier Lionel Jospin. Similar actions took place throughout France and workers also organized a national strike the same day. In 1995 the government also attempted to partially dismantle the national health-care system, but a massive strike wave of railroad and other workers defeated the plan.
