French Railway Workers Set to Join Growing Strikes over Labor Reforms

HeadlineMay 31, 2016

French railway workers are set to join the growing strikes, which are threatening to immobilize the country amid protests over labor reforms. Last week, workers at refineries and nuclear power plants went on strike, creating fuel shortages across the country. Unions are protesting reforms that would make it easier to fire workers, among other provisions. France is slated to host the Euro 2016 football championships next week.
