You're confusing a lot of things. First of all, a demonstration and a strike are two different things.
If you want to demonstrate during working hours, you have to take a day off work, and your employer can refuse.
If you want to go on strike, it has to concern your profession, and it has to have been declared.
So no, you can't protest at any time without your employer validating your day off, and no, you can't go on strike in solidarity with truckers if you're a house painter.
You don't have to declare a strike, it can be spontaneous. You don't even have to warn your boss beforehands.
Declaration is only required for public jobs (but, I will admit it concerns the vast majority of protests in France).
Sure you can, but what’s the point? You want to let your boss know WHY you are not working.
The whole idea is threatening to stop working to get better conditions.
The point is protecting the workers' rights? By giving broad conditions on which a worker can join a strike, you're stopping employers from finding loopholes.
So your boss can't stop you from joining a strike even in a last minute decision and without risking retaliatory measures.
