French SNCF Railway Workers to go on Nationwide Strike on 22 March, 2018

SNCF unions have threatened to go on a nationwide strike on 22 March 2018, coinciding with a nationwide civil service strike. Unions are protesting cuts to benefits and also the loss of public service jobs.

Advice

Unless negotiations avert the strike planned for 22 March, there could be major disruption to transportation and public services, including tourist sites. Strikes can be called or cancelled with little notice.
