Workers Struggle -- French Polynesian public servants strike

Public servants in the small Pacific colony of French Polynesia stuck on Wednesday to protest the French government’s plan to impose massive public sector job cuts. Hundreds of workers demonstrated in the colony’s capital Papeete. The strike affected public administration, the courts and schools.

The French government plans to cut 120’000 jobs from its public sector, which employs more than five million people, including 10’000 in French Polynesia.
