Kitty Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Urgent. Is there a train strike on Friday (21st). I'm getting mixed news. My daughter tells me that there is no train strike on Friday but my (French) neighbour says it is on.I need to know because my daughter has to pack tonight to come home on Thursday afternoon from her weekly boarding school if there is a strike. Buses are arranged but they are often completely full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thank you Clair SOOOOO much. I've sent a text to my daughter to pack her suitcase as if she is going to come home tomorrow afternoon and then will telephone the vie scolaire tomorrow to ask what to do.I see that the strike is about cargo handling. Whatever next.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianagain Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 From the (translated) APF report:"The proposed changes include the amplitude of beaches and the rest, both for the drivers than for sedentary branch of the cargo."Wonderful translation from the original French. ("plages de travail..."). What will the drivers be demanding next??Brian(again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought that they were on strike so they could do a bit of Christmas shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
