French industry body the Mouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF) is demanding a swift end to the strikes at the country’s ports, which yesterday saw a one-day stoppage with a further 24-hour walkout set for today.
However, the appeal has fallen on deaf ears. Following a spate of stoppages this month, unions have announced an intensive programme of industrial action for March.
