FRENCH TRADE UNION LEADERS MARCH IN DEMONSTRATION AGAINST FRENCH PENSIONS REFORM IN PARIS, 2003-05-13 (photo)

French Union leaders Marc Blondel of the Force Ouvriere (L) and Bernard Thibault of the CGT union (far right) march at the head of a demonstration near Paris's Place de la Bastille May 13, 2003. Planes, trains and buses across France ground to a halt, schools were closed and newspapers left unsold as trade unions mobilised a mass one-day protest against planned pension reforms. Workers are protesting the conservative government's plans to make people pay more and for longer into their state-sponsored pension schemes at a time when post-war baby boomers flood into retirement.
