France's Pension Protests: From Mayhem to Shrinking Numbers.
TL;DR Summary
Striking sanitation workers in Paris are set to return to work Wednesday, potentially ending one of the most enduring symbols of resistance to French President Emmanuel Marcon’s controversial pension bill, as nationwide protests also appeared to be winding down. The powerful CGT union representing sanitation workers announced that the three-week-long strike would be “suspended” as of Wednesday. The suspension of the strike, together with the dwindling protest numbers, is seen by some as the beginning of the end of demonstrations against the pension bill.
