10月12日，法国铁路、邮政、电信、公共交通、民航等公共服务部门以及私营部门的员工再次走上街头，反对目前正在参议院审议的退休制度改革法案。这是自今年9月以来，法国举行的第4次全国性反对退休改革的罢工游行活动。受到罢工影响最大的是铁路、公共交通系统，使法国的交通出行遭遇“黑色星期二”。据统计，法国国营铁路公司员工当天的罢工率高达近54％，巴黎公交公司也有近两成的员工罢工。当天除了“欧洲之星”等国际列车的运行保持正常之外，大部分法国国内列车均受到影响，三分之二从巴黎出发的高速列车被取消。巴黎14条地铁线路中除了三条保持正常之外，其余的线路以及连接巴黎郊区的两条快线也均受到不同程度的影响。航空运输方面，巴黎戴高乐机场和奥利机场12日分别有30％和50％的航班被取消。[文章版权禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ O`sWvi 8sKwj`mw]VFroG]

Refinery workers also walked off the job, leading one union to warn of looming gasoline shortages, while another labour leader warned that employees from across different sectors were determined to stay away from work indefinitely if the government doesn't back down.

"Today there will again be a very high mobilization," Chérèque said this morning. "It is incomprehensible that the government is not budging on unions' demands."

In a bid to ramp up the rebellion, which could climax this afternoon in a moving protest from Montparnasse to Bastille, some unions have declared rolling strikes that could last days if not weeks. They are determined to prove the president was wrong when, in 2008, he said that "no one notices" when there is a strike in contemporary France.

The area of action likely to be of most concern to the government, which has made only minor concessions in its reform so far and has repeatedly said it will not row back on the bill's main components, is that affecting French oil refineries. The workers at eight of the country's 12 plants have downed tools. Five of Total's six refineries were blocked. Employees at France's biggest refinery, at Gonfreville-l'Orcher in Normandy, voted this morning to go on a rolling strike. Production would be "minimal" and no fuel would enter or leave until further notice, said a spokesman.

In the capital, hire bike stands stood empty as people took to the roads instead of braving the packed underground, despite assurances from the transport authorities that most Métro lines were running smoothly. The morning rush hour brought parts of the city's ring road, full of commuters in their cars, to a grinding halt.

Speaking on a French radio news program – whose question of the day was "Who holds the power in France: the parliament or the street?'" – the leader of the French Socialists in the national assembly, Jean-Marc Ayrault, said he believed the day would bring proof that the unions' had the upper hand over the government.

"This movement is getting more and more powerful and it has already brought home one victory: that of education," he said. Since June, he explained, many people had "realized this reform is completely unfair".

In Paris, about a third of lycées were shut, while hundreds of school children protested in the streets of towns and cities such as Bordeaux. A banner unfurled over the Lycée Jules Ferry in Paris's 9th arrondissement read: "We don't want to lose our lives by earning a living."
