PARIS – A French government plan to scrap an annual springtime holiday in favor of a “Day of Solidarity” with the elderly seemed like a good idea when the law was passed — and the extra work day was far in the future.
But the end to a coveted day off — which would normally fall on Monday — has not gone down well among the leisure-loving French, and now a spectrum of workers across the country was preparing to stay off the job to protest the decision.
They couldn’t just have it on another day? Typical.
