French unions launched a day of strikes and protests Tuesday against Emmanuel Macron's flagship labor reforms Stacy McGee Limited Jersey , a key test as he stakes his presidency on overhauling the sluggish economy.
More than 180 street protests are planned nationwide against the reforms, which are intended to tackle stubbornly high unemployment by loosening the rules that govern how businesses hire and fire people.
Some 4 Terrelle Pryor Limited Jersey ,000 strikes have been called under the action led by France's biggest trade union, the CGT Preston Smith Limited Jersey , with rail workers, students and civil servants urged to -protest in cities from Paris to Marseille and Toulouse.
But the turnout will serve as a yardstick for unions' ability to mobilize Brandon Scherff Limited Jersey , as deep splits have emerged in the labor movement between those determined to fight the reforms and those prepared to compromise.
The business-friendly Macron sparked a backlash last week by describing opponents of the shake-up as "slackers" and cynics, in comments blasted as "scandalous" by CGT chief Philippe Martinez.
Bruno Cautres of the Cevipof -political research institute said Macron had "thrown oil on the fire" with his choice of words.
"With the 'slackers' comment Montae Nicholson Limited Jersey , there are all the ingredients for this to heat up," he said.
In Paris Samaje Perine Limited Jersey , traffic was operating at between 50 and 80 percent of normal on suburban lines of the SNCF rail network, while two lines of the suburban RER metro system were hit.
Rail traffic is "in line with expectations" and the "majority of the lines are functioning normally Fabian Moreau Limited Jersey ," an SNCF spokesperson said.
Air traffic controllers have also been urged to strike, and Irish low-cost -carrier Ryanair said Monday that it had canceled 110 flights scheduled for T-uesday.
The airline called on Macron's government and the European Commission "to take immediate action to prevent the skies over Europe being closed yet again" during the stoppage.
Fairground operators - angry over pre-Macron reforms that open the industry to more competition - caused traffic jams Tuesday on a major motorway into Paris Ryan Anderson Limited Jersey , and others used trucks to block roads in the capital itself, including on the Champs-Elysees Avenue.
BEIJING, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) - Lucky subway and taxi passengers in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai might stumble upon a hidden book during their commutes.
The Fair, an online entertainment and publishing company, has dropped 10,000 books in spots on subway networks, passenger planes and Didi carpooling vehicles in all three cities to spark an interest in reading among the masses as part of its "Mobook" movement. Another 10,000 quotas have been arranged on the basis of a QR code system for book donors to join the campaign to drop their own books around the Chinese cities.
Pop singers, actors, writers, and TV hosts have also joined the campaign, sparking discussion about the "Mobook" campaign on microblog service Weibo.
The movement is inspired by "Books on the Underground," a community project in London that aims to promote reading during commuting hours, according to Zhang Wei, CEO of The Fair.
"Books on the Underground" was not well-known in China until British actress Emma Watson partnered with the UK-based project to hide 100 novels on the London tube, which drew worldwide attention.
"We had received multiple messages urging us to do something similar in China," said Zhang Wei.
After a week of preparation, he sent an email to Cordelia Oxley, director of "Books on the Underground," describing his plan and explaining the rules of "Mobook".
Zhang said Oxley replied to him in just two hours, saying that she thought the idea was great and offering help if needed.
"Mobook" is much more ambitious than its British predecessor. It aims to become a lasting book-sharing system rather than just a one-off campaign.
The uniqueness of "Mobook" lies in its online system. Everyone who wants to donate books must submit their titles online. QR code stickers are then sent to their address, which they attach to each book, allowing donors to keep track of who is reading their picks.
"We want to make reading a fun and cool thing," Zhang said.
Tens of thousands of bookworms have already participated. "Mobook" became a hot topic on Wechat, and the 10,000 QR codes available for book donors were snatched up in just 5 hours.
Xu Rui found a book just two hours after reading about the campaign.
She boarded the subway at about 10 a.m. Tuesday at Haidian Wuluju Station, the western terminus of Beijing's Line 6.
"I saw two young men and a young woman carrying backpacks on the train," she said. "They had books in their hands and approached an old man sitting beside me."
When the volunteers came to her, Xu, 47, picked one of three books. "It is easier to read on the train," she explained.
Xu said she used to read on her way to and from work. "Each week I would finish a book," she said.
"But now the buses and trains are packed with people holding their smart phones, watching TV programs or listening to pop music," she said. "Smart phones also take up much of my time. I have started reading seven books, but none of them is finished yet."
She likes the plan to circulate books on public transportation.
"When I saw people reading books again on the train, I felt so happy," she said. "I am going to hide a book as well when I return the one I have received."
Wen Ya, a brand manager, told Xinhua that he would like to hide a copy of "The Catcher In The Rye" on the subway. "It's a great idea and I am eager to share the book with strangers," he said.
However, the movement has been met with mixed feelings. Some think it's a good move to nurture reading habits among Chinese people, but others suspect the campaign is just a publicity stunt for The Fair.
"It must be exciting to find something as wonderful as a new book on your journey," sa.
