It seems totally incongruous for me to see a group of people - largely women - who are trained and committed to helping other people, having to take to the streets for lengthy periods, withdrawing their services so that they can make small acceptable gains that will get them back to work.
Il me paraît contradictoire que des gens - essentiellement des femmes - qui, par formation autant que par vocation, s'occupent de gens malades, descendent dans la rue et manifestent des semaines durant, refusant d'assumer leur service afin d'obtenir de légères concessions qui les convaincront de reprendre le travail.
