French Workers Participate in a Nationwide General Strike over Pension Reforms

PARIS - OCTOBER 28: French university students and striking workers attend a demonstration over pension reforms, a man with a diaper holds a placard "Sarkozy babies are in the street and we are going to wipes the ass" on October 28, 2010 in Paris, France. This is the seventh day of protest for French workers angry at the Government's proposed pension reforms. Nicolas Sarkozy, however, has not wavered in his plans to increase the state pension age from 60 to 62 and last night the National Assembly passed the bill. (Photo by Franck Prevel/Getty Images)
