Three groups have so far called for strike action at the beginning of July, designed to coincide with the first part of the holiday getaway. Three transport unions have called for workers on the Ouigo budget high-speed trains to go on strike between July 3rd and 4th. However, the strike only involves a single union so is unlikely to cause widespread disruption of the type seen during the mass transport strikes of December 2019 and January 2020.International travel could also be impacted due to an airport workers’ strike at the beginning of July. In a joint press release, the three unions distanced themselves from the July 1st action, telling workers not to join a “catch-all strike”. “For our salaries, our jobs, our rights, for a protected status for all railway workers – everyone on strike!” they said.
