The 1995 strikes in France were a series of general strikes in France, mostly in the public sector in late 1995. The strikes received great popular support despite paralyzing the country's transportation infrastructure. The strikes occurred in the context of a larger social movement against the new Juppé government's agenda, which was arguably the largest social movement in France since May 1968.

  • The 1995 strikes in France were a series of general strikes in France, mostly in the public sector in late 1995. The strikes received great popular support despite paralyzing the country's transportation infrastructure. The strikes occurred in the context of a larger social movement against the new Juppé government's agenda, which was arguably the largest social movement in France since May 1968. The November-December 1995 general strike has been seen as a turning point in the social movement, comparable in scale to the 1999 demonstrations in Seattle against the WTO summit. Many organisations were created in the aftermath of these strikes.
