STRIKE * France - French Strike Rocks Ports, Rails
Workers press President Sarkozy for job protections
Paris,France -The Journal of Commerce, by Bruce Barnard –19 March 2009: -- France’s main seaports are at a standstill and rail freight is being severely disrupted as thousands of longshoremen and rail workers join a general strike to protest the government’s economic policies... The strike has closed container terminals at the main box ports, Le Havre and Marseilles, after longshoremen began a 24 hour strike at 8 p.m. local time on March 18... Elsewhere the picture is mixed. Dunkirk, France’s third largest port, reported container and ferry traffic is operating normally, while cargo handling has halted at some cargo berths...
