French strike brings travel chaos
France is suffering travel chaos after transport and energy workers
broadened a strike in protest against President Nicolas Sarkozy's
pension reform.
Rail services were severely disrupted and energy production reduced
in the open-ended action over cuts affecting some 500,000 public
sector workers.
Thousands of commuters were forced to improvise their journey to
work.
The government and the unions have resumed talks but there are
fears the stoppage could last for several days.
The BBC's Alasdair Sandford in Paris says that with students,
teachers, civil servants and even magistrates threatening strike
action over separate issues, the fear for the government is that
this becomes a general wave of protest against economic
hardship.
