Re: Germany's first open-ended public sector... (none / 0)

Germany does have a history of strikes, though German strikes usually end much faster with an agreement reached and are less violent or extensive than in France. (I remember when once we had school out pecause our teachers went on strike - for half a day, for the time of a protest rally.)

Probably we have different criteria of what "history of strike" means. In Macedonia usually the school year starts one month after the scheduled beginning, because the teachers regularly begin the school year with "one month of strike". This was particularly the case during the last 4-5 years.
