What the unions are demanding

The unions are calling for three days of mobilization to improve working conditions in several sectors. France 24 specifies that the strike affects education and transportation in particular.

The government's response

According to France 24, the government has asked workers to abandon this movement, which it describes as "illegal." Sources consulted do not specify on what grounds it considers the strike illegal.

A tight schedule

According to RFI, the strike comes just days before the opening of the Youth Olympic Games, scheduled for October 31 in the country. Neither source provides any figures on the scale of participation.
