Militant/Claude Bleton

PARIS—Hundreds of thousands of workers marched across France November 6, demanding that President Nicolas Sarkozy not sign the bill recently adopted by parliament to raise the retirement age by two years. Above, a contingent of Grandpuits refinery workers demonstrate in Paris. Workers at Grandpuits have been on strike for three weeks. Their banner reads: “Thank you for your support of the refinery workers.”
