Strikes
Is France planning a seies of strikes - not only rail workers but also air traffic controllers and civil servants? Something to do with Macron's planned changes?
Not in France at the moment but will be soon?

Doesn't always work. Ryanair have cancelled our daughter's flight from Stanstead to Barcelona today. Re-booked for Sunday with fingers crossed.dsd wrote:The best bet would be to fly to Gerona, if you can sort out the last leg from there to here. We're so lucky in times of strike to have Spain so close; it's saved me hassle loads of times. English school holidays start this weekend so 'summer' flights are mainly starting next week
Good luck!

Re: Strikes,
Quite!EILEEN wrote:russell... the air traffic service here in France is also "doing" a strike today... so flights passing through from UK to Spain are also affected. So using Girona and Barcelona is not always a solution to strikes here!!

Under the new reform plans, SNCF’s legal corporate status would change from a state enterprise (known as an EPIC) to what is known in many other countries as a limited or joint-stock company. The existing 150,000 rail workers will hold on to their generous employment rights but new recruits will not be given the job-for-life guarantees an automatic annual pay increase that SNCF employees have enjoyed for decades. Looks like early retirement rights are also likely to vanish but as part of a separate overhaul of the French pensions system. I think this is the reason why there are strikes across France
