Though I am not French, I am a strong supporter of the economic reform led by Macron. It is currently a full-on “face-off” between the Macron-government vs. the unions in France, in particular the SNCF (train) union. I will spare readers of (in my opinion and many others) the “out-dated” employee benefits of the train workers is a key focus of the issue.
I hope the common people will rise (I know it is a huge pain and inconvenience with the strike) and support the reform. It is TIME for a change and move on. The past is to help us become better and stronger; however, holding firmly to it will hinder us from our progress.
