France – Railway Workers Strike

Workers employed by the French state-owned rail services plan to strike throughout the country from 1900 June 10 through at least 1900 June 11. Union leaders could extend the strike past the proposed end time. Transport disruptions are highly likely on most routes; all night train services will probably be canceled. While the extent of disruptions is still unclear, previous similar strikes greatly impacted the Regional Transport Express service and Transilien, which operates trains in Paris and the suburbs of the capital in the Ile-de-France region. The TGV network will likely operate normally, however.
