French train and metro drivers, refinery workers, garbage collectors and others are holding further strikes against President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to raise the retirement age to 64.
Striking dockers occupy a road leading to the port of Bayonne with a banner reading"Dockers striking, dead port" in Tarnos, southwestern France, Wednesday, March 8, 2023. French train and metro drivers, refinery workers, garbage collectors and others were holding further strikes on Wednesday against President Emmanuel Macron's plan to raise the retirement age to 64, in efforts to keep up pressure on the government amid the ongoing parliamentary debate.
About 150 employees from the Louvre museum gathered Wednesday morning in the room where Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” is displayed, brandishing a huge banner writing “No to working longer” in front of the iconic painting, a union statement said. They wanted to show “solidarity towards the women’s fight for their rights across the world” and denounce the pension plan's impact on female workers, the statement said.
A fifth of flights have been canceled at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport and about a third at Orly Airport. Macron has vowed to go ahead with the bill, which he presents as key to his pro-businesses economic policies.
