Actually you have it completely wrong, frogman, and therefore your 'strike' will mean absolutely nothing. You are not a proper public employee worthy of 70 paid off days a year, you are an interloper who ought to be jaailed for abridging the rights of properly accredited (and unionized) journalists. It is THEY and not you who have the government-granted right to report news and issue opinions, not a jumped-up Yankee-loving merde like yourself!
You should be grateful to a merciful State that you're not rotting in the Chateau D'If right now!
