France's pension system has historically sparked unrest, leading to civil disobedience. Recently, a satirical movement by the Zele collective encourages French workers to arrive late to work, compensating for an increase in retirement age from 62 to 64. Creators Charles-Antoine De Sousa, Simon Lamasa, and Marc Horgues aim to express dissatisfaction through this lighthearted form of protest. They emphasize the need for maintaining work-life balance amid serious reform discussions, utilizing creativity to reignite dialogue over pension issues as May Day approaches.
We've had serious protests in France and that hasn't worked. People haven't been heard. So this is a fun alternative, a symbolic resistance, a way of putting the issue back on the table.
The pension reform requires you to work for longer? Compensate by arriving late for work.
