On this day, 27 May 1968, the Grenelle negotiations in the May 68 French uprising concluded when union officials reached an “agreement” with employers for a 35% increase in the minimum wage and a 10% increase in average real wages, plus further trade union rights.
However, workers rejected the agreement and continued the mass strike.
Meanwhile, radical art collective Atelier Populaire produced posters mocking those who sought to “return to normal”

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
