Even for strike-prone France
, this has been a busy week
. On Tuesday,
 teachers,
 postal workers and fire fighters
poured into the streets protesting
 for better salaries and working conditions.
 On Wednesday,
 the tobacconists went on strike
against a new anti-smoking law.
Meanwhile
, students have blocked roughly 40 universities nationwide
to express
their discontent
 about government plans
 to grant higher education institutes
greater autonomy.
But it is
 a massive transportation strike
, now in its second week
, that has caused the most damage.
 Although unions and government officials
have begun negotiating reforms
to special pensions -
 and more trains are running -
 the strike continues
to snarl traffic,
 particularly
 in the Paris area.
 

The unrest carries
all the classic French ingredients.
 The government proposes reforms.
The French protest.
 The government backs down.
 But this time around,
 the country's chief executive
is Nicolas Sarkozy. 
said American University
of Paris politics professor
 Steven Ekovich.
After all
, Sarkozy was elected
 to change things.
And public opinion
is still behind him,
 "And I think he realizes
that in order to change things in France -
and it is not easy
to change things in France because,
after all, it is rather conservative -
 Sarkozy understood
that changes in France had to be done quickly and massively
and not piece by piece.
And we are seeing the consequences of that."
Surveys show
a stunning majority
 of French support their hard-charging new president
 as he tries to end special pension perks
benefiting a small slice
of the population,
most of them rail
and utility workers.
 
On Sunday,
several-thousand protesters
 even demonstrated against the strikes -
an oddity in a country
where walkouts
usually evoke sentiments
of "solidarity"
against the authorities.
At the Laumiere metro station
in northern Paris
, a loudspeaker
 informed commuters
 trains were functioning sporadically
- rather than
 not at all,
as it had a few days before.
The strike has enraged French commuters,
 who have waited
for hours
to get metros
 and trains to work,
or remained snarled in traffic jams.
Others walk or bike to work
. But Thursday,
 businessman Philippe du Rhode
 decided to brave mass transit.
Du Rhode said
he was trying to stay calm.
He believes France
is undergoing
a period of
 major change -
 and he is for that.
But another commuter,
 Said Abdallah,
was less enthusiastic.
Abdallah said
France may need reforms,
 but he does not like
the president's methods.
He believes
he should negotiate more.
Since taking office in May,
 Mr. Sarkozy
 has wasted no time
 making good on campaign promises
 to cut government spending
and make France more competitive.
He has moved
at a breathtaking pace
- pushing through university
and immigration reforms,
 coaxing the European Union
 to adopt a simplified treaty
 to replace its aborted constitution,
 sending his former wife to Libya
 to plead the cause
of imprisoned Bulgarian nurses
 and speeding to Chad
 in connection with a questionable French charity.
 

After days of uncharacteristic silence
, Mr. Sarkozy
urged transport workers Tuesday
 to return to work,
 vowing the government
would not back down.
In a speech to French mayors
, the president urged strikers
to reconsider continuing their walkout
that has cost the country so dearly.
He said those paying
the price
 were ordinary French
who have the rightful feeling
of being taken hostage.
French analyst Etienne Schweisguth
believes Mr. Sarkozy
was right
 to begin his reforms with the special pensions
 that only affect
 a small percentage of workers,
 most of them
in the rail sector.
Schweisguth
of the Paris-based Center
 for the Study of French Politics,
 says if Sarkozy
is able to push through these reforms
 he will have weakened the unions -
and that would be a good beginning
 for his larger strategy.
But whether the president
will persevere in the long term
is another matter.
He has long been criticized
for making empty promises
 - including those during his tenure
 as interior minister
 when he promised to
 overhaul the country's crime-plagued,
immigrant-heavy suburbs.
Critics say that
 has not happened.
Analyst Schweisguth says
Mr. Sarkozy's problem
is that
many of the reforms he has pledged
 will only show results in the long term.
So for now
, he has to be content with announcements.
A poll published
 last Sunday
in the weekly
Journal du Dimanche  found Mr. Sarkozy's popularity
 had slipped four percentage points since October -
but still remained
at 55 percent.
 And with the left
and unions divided over reforms,
France's president
faces
no major opposition.
At least not
for the moment.
