THE end of the early shift, and workers at the Peugeot car factory at AulnaysousBois, near Paris, are streaming out through the turnstiles. The anger is raw; the disappointment crushing. In July, when the company announced that the plant, which employs 3,000 workers, was to close, President Francois Hollande loudly branded the decision “unacceptable”. Two months and an official report later, his government has now accepted its fate. “Hollande said that he would look after us,” says Samir Lasri, who has worked on the production line for 12 years: “Now we regret voting for him.”
早班结束，位于巴黎边上的欧奈苏布瓦市的标致汽车厂的工人们从十字转门里蜂涌而出。他们异常愤怒，失望至极。七月份，该公司宣布将关闭这个拥有3000名员工的工厂时，法国总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德大声疾呼该决是“不可接受的”。然而，两个月后，一则官方报道称政府已经接受了它关闭的命运。“奥朗德之前说他会照顾我们的活，”已经在生产线工作了12年的萨米尔·拉斯利说，“现在我们后悔给他投票了”。
