1995 strikes in France

[1][2] The strikes were provoked by Alain Juppé, when he announced the pay freezes and delay of tax cuts until 1996.

This angered the before split unions that banded together against these policy implementations leading to strikes in mid October which stopped and resumed by 10 November and continued on.

Despite the strikes Juppé announced the firmness of his position on the policy on 15 November which further angered Union workers around France.

First there was a strike by the General Confederation of Labor(CGT) on 24 November as a show of discontent to Juppé sternness on the policy.

Juppé tried to mitigate damage by hiring private buses and cars but the effort was stopped in its tracks by Parisians.

The last strike on 12 December counted up to 1 million Parisian gathering causing an existential threat to French government leading to forced discussion.
