French Air Traffic Control Strikes

[SWADLER747]

Anyone know when the 'annual' French air traffic control strike is?

Cheers

Last one, that was due to begin on the 9th of March, was canceled.

Actually this is not annual anymore but returned to monthly now, with some random activities in between.

A bit of education on French labour disputes :

In France the right of strike is embedded in the constitution and withdrawing labour is a fundamental right of employees to show their discomptemp towards their employer .

On top of this it works extremely well, as , each time the controllers or the Pilots calls a strike the Governement backs off .. So why would you stop ?

So if it works so well, then why do they still have to do it every few months?:confused:

An Air Traffic Control strike was tried once in the U.S.

It was a learning experience...
