Errr, quite possibly this:

France Braces for Potential Halt of Oil Refineries Amid Strike - Bloomberg

I'd refer anyone planning on traveling through or to France in the next month or so to captain playstation's absolutely spot on comment earlier in the thread that: "There are bigger things brewing in France, and it won't just be ATC on strike as this Summer progresses."

TBH whilst this action (ATC and most especially elsewhere) has some public sympathy (workers rights and all that) the bigger issue here is the fight between the major syndicats (unions), such as the CGT, and Mr Valls over who really runs the economy and the country, so this could go on and on this summer....and TBF even the locals, especially those not in unions or working for the public sector, are getting p****d off with their travel plans being interfered with.
