Paris, France

Tuesday morning, in a reactionary move prompted by the rail worker strikes earlier this week, thousands of French Civil Servants, from teachers to weather servicemen, went on strike demanding greater access to road flares for their future strikes.
“If we allow the rail workers to use up the supply or road flares in their current strike, how will we be able to get the attention of foreign journalists?” questioned Juan Eurribe, leader of the FHSTDGATRF (French High School Teachers Demanding Greater Access To Road Flares). “We will not back down, we will not quit until our demands are met.”
Embattled French President Nicholas Sarkozy took a hard line stance when confronted with this new strike. “Like the rail workers strike wasn’t bad enough, now we are clearly confronted with a group that when you boil away all the chaff, just didn’t want to go into work today. I have authorized the use of nerve gas immediately.”
