French Senate approves raising retirement age

None

France's Senate has approved raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 even as unions are promising new protests.

 

The Senate adopted the contested article on the basic retirement age on Friday in a vote of 186 to 153. The article is part of a sweeping pension reform. The Senate is expected to vote on the full reform next week. (AP)
