Pierre ZFP Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I am told by my French colleagues that there will be a general strike tomorrow in France, Thursday 19th March but I have not seen it mentioned on this forum.Nobody can tell me why but it seems to include schools, SNCF and civil servants (including hospitals)Is it everywhere or just the Lorraine region?Since the strike is scheduled for Thursday, the thinking here is that Friday might be a 'jour de pont' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
