Well, I'm French. Unfortunately, in France, striking has become a very bad habit.

I would only support a strike if I wanted what they were striking for, OP. Duh. :-)

LOL. French here and I think you're full of it. Because of my French upbringing, I would support the teachers strike by default no matter what, until and unless I see an egregious reason not to. Such reason is highly unlikely and wouldn't be spoonfed to me by the Washington Times or DCUM. And yes, even if it meant no DL, even though we are DL-only. That's All the apps on Clever would get a lot of use.

In the 90ies, I lived through 6 icy winter weeks of public transit strike in Paris, with massive day-long gridlockas some tried driving instead, all hotels in town getting booked up by workers from suburbia who didn't want to miss work, and a huge run on sports gear stores for bikes, skates, anything they could use.

I still supported the strike.

All that I can see came out of it was win wins of a still outstanding subway system, and some great biking habits that prompted the creation of lots and lots of protected bike lanes a few short years later.
I bet all the great walkability and car-free initiatives in Paris now wouldn't be possible without that strike.
