This study explores the right of public servants to strike as a means of expressing opinions and safeguarding labor rights. The central question of this study revolves around the extent to which French legislation strikes a balance between the normal and ongoing functioning of public institutions and public servants resorting to strikes to express their opinions and reclaim vulnerable rights. The study is divided into four parts and deals with the stages of the right to strike, the rules governing its exercise in France, the forms of strikes and certain categories of workers prohibited from taking part in strikes. The study is based on an analytical approach to legal texts related to the organization of public servants in state institutions, as well as an analysis of court decisions on the subject in the French Council of State. Taking into account the need to maintain regularity and continuity in public institutions, French legislation allows public servants to strike. The study recommends amending paragraph c/69 of the Civil Service to read: “Public servants are prohibited from participating in strikes or calling for strikes before obtaining permission from the competent authorities.”
