The protests are the latest in a\r\nseries of strikes by public sector workers angered by reforms President\r\nNicolas Sarkozy says are necessary to improve efficiency and reduce\r\ncosts. According to the SNES-FSU union, 40% of secondary school\r\nteachers took part in the strike over job reductions and school\r\nreforms. Teachers' unions are angry at measures which include new\r\ntraining standards, changing the selection process to make it easier\r\nfor parents to choose a school and steadily reducing the number of\r\nteachers. Education Minister Luc Chatel\r\nsaid the government would not back down on plans that aim to trim the\r\noverall public service payroll by replacing only half the public\r\nservants who retire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English:\u003Cfont face=\"Times New Roman\"> \u003C\u002Ffont>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Faf.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002FworldNews\u002FidAFTRE5AN35H20091124\" target=\"_blank\">http:\u002F\u002Faf.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002FworldNews\u002FidAFTRE5AN35H20091124\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>via \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.labourstart.org\u002Fcgi-bin\u002Fshow_news.pl?country=France\" target=\"_blank\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.labourstart.org\u002Fcgi-bin\u002Fshow_news.pl?country=France\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"teaserText\">This article was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter, which presents up-to-date\r\ninformation on collective bargaining developments across Europe.
