In France Unions ARE the authority.

Most of the French work for the government and unions have lots of power.

The union culture in France is much smaller than in Belgium or Germany. The french media are giving it a lot of coverage (while criticizing it at the same time) but it doesn't mean its influence is as effective as you make it sound. There are your classical Poujadas scapegoats.

Most of the French DON'T work for the government and unions have almost no power whatsoever. That's why they make a lot of noise.
