“If you’re imprisoned by work, you won’t live to be old” -lyrics from a song by Henri Salvador - “Work is Health”, on January 19, 2023 in Paris, France. Following the French government's announcement to push the retirement age from 62 to 64, unions have called for mass social action. Employees in sectors including transport, education and energy have confirmed plans to join the nationwide strike, with major protest rallies confirmed in Paris and other cities. France's CGT union has also threatened to cut electricity supplies to lawmakers and businessmen amid the nationwide strike. (Photo by Owen Franken - Corbis/Getty Images)
