Strikes are set to take place in France soon, involving farmers, pilots and railway workers. The strikes will occur over the course of one week, starting on Thursday, November 14, when pilots plan to protest.
The National Union of Airline Pilots (SNPL) is calling on its members to gather in front of the National Assembly following a vote on a proposed increase in taxes for the sector. On November 15, farmers are planning their own protest to highlight issues such as livestock health problems and concerns about the impact of the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement on their businesses.
On November 21, workers from France’s state-owned railway operator SNCF are expected to strike. In late October, a strike by waste workers in Marseille led to piles of garbage accumulating in the streets of the city.
