"You miss out with your family life and that is the reason we get pay," he said. "This annuity change is somewhat similar to a football coordinate where they change the principles at half-time. 

With all the additional estimates he would now need to work longer on the off chance that he needed full benefits, he griped. 

Train driver Cyril Romero, from Toulouse, disclosed to France Info he would rethink his activity if the changes experienced. 

"I began in 2001 with an agreement that enabled me to leave at 50. Be that as it may, similar to every other person, I recovered the changes which pushed my initial retirement age to 52-and-a-half and afterward, as a general rule, 57-and-a-half for full annuity. Presently they need to make us work significantly more." 

An anonymous history instructor, writing in HuffPost, was wanting to strike on Friday just as Thursday. 

"For me, the benefits changes are one punch too much. We're battling not to lose several euros of annuity a month - after over 40 years in work.
