I genuinely don’t know what point you’re trying to make.
You agree that french workers have strong protections, and that these were achieved by their aggressive protests, so that’s not it…
Is it only about the effectiveness of recent protests?
Because the explanation for that seems fairly simple: €1 billion of business costs are very easily absorbed by today’s multinational corporations, but not so for a small local company, so the mega wealthy come out even stronger.
Huge multinationals need to be cut up by governments, like the robber barons they are, except that we’re in such a globalised economy that no country wants to shoot itself in the foot that hard, hence the current downfall.
My hope for Europe is that trump eventually pushes so hard that we outright restrict market access to the likes of Amazon, Microsoft etc, and put in place a system that prevents any one company from obtaining such huge shares.

In the meantime, I’ll protest.
