The French union leading an historic transport strike is "more determined than ever" to stop pension reform despite a new government overture, it said Saturday. The CGT union added in a statement that "the government just confirmed to the unions that it would maintain the proposed law in its current form." It called the government's proposal to withdraw a core measure that would have in effect raised the retirement age by two years "a smokescreen to get some unions to sign on" to the overall reform. mpf/cel/wai/har
