The French people are engaging in a last ditch strikes against the new pension reform bill. This bill, if put in place, will raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. It has been estimated that over half a million people were on the streets to protest on Thursday. The lower house of the parliament has already approved the bill. This strike was held because they still have the ability to send the bill down to constitutional council if voted on by 60 legislators. French air traffic controllers are expecting roughly half of flights coming in will be cancelled on Thursday.
