Massive Public Sector Strikes in France as Teachers and Public Workers Demand Reforms
On December 5, a significant strike among public sector employees erupted in France, with nearly one-third of teachers participating. Union leader Sophie Binet urged President Emmanuel Macron to address social crises affecting salaries and pensions. The protests, organized by various unions, aim to highlight demands for increased resources in public services, coinciding with expected large-scale demonstrations in cities like Paris. Meanwhile, air travel disruptions have been reported due to flight reductions at major airports as a result of the strike.
