Rail workers across France[/B] went on strike today, Wednesday, causing serious disruption to services just days before the start of the summer holidays and at a time of social unrest in other sectors of the economy as high inflation gnaws away at wages.
Three of the four largest unions of SNCF, the French state railways, were involved in the strike. As a result, a third of long-distance and regional services were cancelled. Suburban services in Paris were also affected, as well as some high-speed TGV trains.
The strike was only for today, but there may be more strikes in the summer as unions say the pay rises proposed by SNCF management are insufficient.
