YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When millions of French protesters shut down their country over the president's decision to raise the retirement age, U.S. commentators said it could never happen here. But why?

To find out why, we went back through decades of U.S. and French history. We took a look at the different narratives we tell ourselves about strikes and the different laws protecting the right to collective action in the United States and Europe.

Written & Hosted by Alice Cappelle.

Man on the street sequence filmed by Nehemiah Stark.
