2010 Strikes, France

Demonstration in Orléans, 12 October
A prolonged strike by garbage collectors led to a build-up of trash around the port of Marseille. The strike has lasted for at least three weeks.
Students began to participate in the demonstrations during October, with 1 in every 15 schools in the country affected by the middle of the month. Police fired rubber bullets into the eye of one 16-year-old student in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, causing the student to nearly lose the eye, with other students reported to have also been injured. Police also sprayed tear gas on young protesters in Lyon, during acts captured by television cameras. Families and children came to the fore on the third day, the first occasion on which a demonstration occurred on a Saturday.
The fifth day of strikes caused the French government to publicly admit that Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport was rapidly running out of fuel, though it did advise people "not to panic".
