Well, looks like the unions aren't satisfied with their last displays of force, so they've all announced new strikes for this month:

• 9^th: cops
  
• 13^th: national railways
  
• 14^th: national electricity and natural gas companies
  
• 20^th: various public servants, postal service, teachers
  
• 29^th: justice system
  

It's gonna be an awesome month! Of course, it is very likely Sarkozy will say a nice Fuck You to all of them - the most entertaining part then being how he says it and the union leaders' fuming reactions (a la Sarkozy vs. Leslie Stahl episode¹).

¹: By the way, totally behind S. on that one. Stahl had been repeatedly asked not to ask any questions about his private life and she still tried to get a scoop. If you play with fire, don't bitch that you got burned.
