The national strike to protest pension reform got back under way in France on Thursday, with the CGT trade union calling on port and power workers, as well as those in the refinery and petrol distribution sector, to down tools in opposition to government plans to abolish special pension deals for some workers.
With the second in a planned series of nationwide strikes due next Tuesday and Wednesday, French energy, fuel and dock workers who are members of the CGT union relaunched their industrial action on Thursday.
