Transport workers shut down...southwestern France


Striking railway workers cross railways at the train station in Hendaye, southwestern France, Thursday Nov. 15, 2007. Transport workers shut down most rail traffic in France for a second full day Thursday, wearing down passengers forced to postpone trips and Parisians who had to walk or bike to work. French authorities made clear that the principles guiding a plan to reform special retirement benefits for transport and utilities workers, in place for more than 60 years, could not be touched.
