Paris Garbage

The amount of trash uncollected on Paris streets due to a waste workers strike has surged to 10,000 tonnes, despite efforts to force them back to duty, authorities said Friday.

The city's garbage collectors have been on strike since March 6 in protest at a controversial reform of Frances's pension system.

She was found abandoned in a garbage dump on the Moradabad-Agra highway last week but 'Pari' has, since then, received an outpouring of love and support from strangers across the country.

Protesters angered by the death of a man in police hands earlier this week burned cars and garbage bins in an area north of Paris overnight, but tension seemed to be easing despite a third night of unrest, a local official said today.

The French authorities sent in private rubbish collection trucks to clear piles of rotting garbage from Paris streets today and told striking public sector workers they would not be allowed to disrupt Europe's soccer championship.
