ASSOCIATED PRESS — Heaps of garbage in Paris streets become protest symbol
Paris is struggling with the aftermath of a 16-day-long garbage collectors' strike which has left the streets strewn with rubbish, some piles taller than humans, with rats sighted in some areas. The French capital's famous landmarks have been impacted as outdoor dining areas around the piles of refuse have seen customer numbers drop, while the striking waste collectors themselves have won widespread support. The reason for the walkout is a two-year increase in the retirement age, from 62 to 64 for most, and from 57 to 59 for garbage collectors, a measure passed by President Emmanuel Macron's government in a special constitutional article.
