Strikers block way to tunnel

Striking French ferry workers blocked access to the loading terminal for the Eurotunnel that links France and England, delaying cargo and passengers hoping to cross the English Channel. The workers have repeatedly protested expected job cuts in the French port city of Calais that are linked to Eurotunnel's sale of its ferry service. Eurotunnel said the union protested again on Tuesday, hindering vehicles on their way to the train terminal.
