Paris, January 14 (RHC)-- In France, the government is backing down on its effort to raise the retirement age, as transportation workers and other unions continue a massive strike now entering its sixth week.

Earlier, the French government caved to some of the protesters’ demands and said it would temporarily scrap the proposal to raise the full-benefits retirement age, the most controversial part of French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposed pension overhaul.  Despite the concession, some unionized workers remain on strike today across France.
