Port union plans strikes
France's port union called yesterday for 24-hour strikes every week to protest against government plans to privatize the loading activities of state-run ports.
Talks between the union and the government over reforms unveiled in January ended in acrimony this week, with the union accusing the government of turning its back on a strategic sector.
