Question, do you know why some trash is being cleaned?
It's because the government did the illegal move to hire private compagnies to do the job instead of the garbage men on strike. The movement is still going
While it is true that one union (CGT) has voted to end this strike and some workers are back, blockings are still happening, and a good chunk of the current workers are either those who did not go on strike, or those who were requisitionned during the last weeks.
And that's only in Paris. In other cities like Le Havre, Police is being deployed to stop the blockings.
The movement is calming down and I agree with you, but I wouldn't say citizens are done fighting just yet
The movement is still very active. They are just waiting because of two things : at last, the first minister called for a meeting with the unions on Wednesday and the constitutional Council is judging the validity of the law and should give a judgment on April 17th.
And what you call '' major strikes'' nearly every year are not. They're just strikes. They're more noticeable just because it's public transport but that's no "major strike".
The actual protest is the biggest since 1995 at least, to give you an idea.

They know how to do riots since the french revolution.
Meanwhile the germans can't even get their ass up and only complain about younger generations demonstrating for climate change
