Strikes in FranceStrikes in France Update

I will try to update this page as often as possible. Just keep in mind that events change quite often and at the last minute.
See the strike dictionary below to understand what any abbreviation might mean.

For the foreseeable future I’m going to use my twitter page to give strike updates. I’m marking all such updates with #strikefrance. See strike updates here. If twitter isn't working my strike updates can/should be found on Google.
If you see no results then there hasn’t been an update in the last day or so.

These web sites offer updates on selected French transportation systems. Note: these sites don’t always offer updates in real time and as events are ever changing it can be very hard to really know what is happening on the ground without being there.
All sites in French.
La circulation des transports en commun en Ile-de-France (Public transportation in and round Paris.)
Trafic SNCF Ter (Regional rail system)
SNCF - Infolignes (TGV – French high speed rail system)
RATP Transports en île de France (Paris subway system)

If you read French these two sites will help you stay up to date Mouvements sociaux and Grèves.org sur vos écrans on what is going on.

Here is a selection of French strike photos on Flickr. They were found using the search term ‘grève France’ – strike France.

This link takes you to a Google News search results page for ‘strike France’.
