France - Caribbean Islands - Social Issues - Protests Against Rising Cost of Living
Access to the industrial area "La Lezarde" is blocked by farm union strikers. Twelve trade unions launched a general strike on February 5, 2009 against the decreasing purchasing power of the island. The rising cost of living has especially affected the 70,000 people on the island living below the poverty line. | Location: Le Lamentin, Martinique, France.
