"Looks like many French workers(?) are willing to cut their own throats"
Don't you mean, refuse to be bend over and be shafted by those who caused the present economic fiasco, still remain in office, still retain their positions of power and influence, and continue to receive obscenely astronomical bonuses for 'having done such a wonderful job of running the world'?
Let's hope others now being forced to pay the consequences for cleaning up the mess caused by the corruption, indifference, greed and breathless incompetence that has brought about the present state of affairs, find the balls to follow the French workers' example and stand up to these retards.
Vive la France!
