PARIS — French rail unions Sud Rail, CGT, and CFDT have called for a national strike by rail workers on July 6, Reuters reports.
The unions said in a joint statement that workers “are sharply hit by exploding inflation. We must act to obtain wage increases.”
The French call for a strike came as most rail service in the United Kingdom was being disrupted by strikes by most unions that began June 21 [see “Britain hit by biggest rail strike since 1990s,” Trains News Wire, June 21, 2022]. The UK unions had scheduled three days of strikes in June, the last on Saturday, June 25, but reportedly plan more in July.
