TRUCKERS' STRIKE * France - Strategic sites blocking

* El Khomri law: the strike of truck drivers extends


---  Highway drivers went into action on May 16 evening, the call federations transport unions Force Ouvrière, CGT and Sud. Everywhere in France, site blockages occur in the form of filter dams or snail operations... The truck drivers were the first to action this week in socially responsible. From 22 am, Monday, May 16, 2016, the first transactions took place. The movement extended to Tuesday, May 17 throughout France... Access to most ports in mainland France was and remains impossible. This is particularly the case in Le Havre, the main access point to the great Asian import products. Joint action by dockers and lorry drivers.

The ring road of Bordeaux, Nantes, Caen, Dunkirk, Lorient, Marseille and Calais were among the most frequently cited targets. Snail operations with distribution of leaflets were taking place in parallel, on the A1, in the direction Lille / Paris and the A26 in the direction Calais / Reims. CGT activists sealed the permanence of a deputy-was learned, also, source of AFP... Force Ouvriere and the CGT, with late support South, oppose the perspective offered by the Labour Law of the road haulage companies to get the overtime pay of 25% / 50% to 10% . "For a driver who is 200 hours per month is 1300 euros less on the payroll," said Jerome Truth (CGT) told AFP... The word strike call for drivers is renewable. Currently, shares of blockages do not concern Paris and Ile-de-France... This threatens to spread the movement to other transport categories (funds, ambulances ...) if the government turned a deaf ear... If they are not heard, the strikers transport unions pose the threat of new shares during the Euro football which starts in France on June 10. "We will touch on the economy," says Patrice Clos...
