Thatcher broke the coal miners' strike, and Reagan broke the air traffic controllers' strike, and they both become popular and electorally unbeatable on the backs of those workers.
I think Sarkozy is looking to take a page from the Thatcher/Reagan era - a symbolic victory over unions - to advance his platform: "the abandonment of expensive entitlements and special conditions for public sector workers" Sarkozy is on a mission, IMO, and he's apparently won round one.
