| Blog article: Friday Strike Update: France. Germany Still Striking
It’s a sunny Friday here in NYC but in France and Germany commuter moods are clouded with continued rail strikes. Here’s the latest:
The rail strike entered its third day on Friday. The a slight increase in the number of trains and metros running across the country and a significant decrease in the number of workers participating in the strike.
Only 200 of 700 TGV trains across the country are running.
In Paris the Metro is running with delays although two lines are not running at all. One third of the city’s buses are not running.
Rail workers voted to continue the strike over the weekend although support seems to be thinning.
On Friday the second day of passenger rail strikes has affected millions of commuters’ journeys. 3,000 workers have walked out since the strike began.
The that suburban and inter-city transportation is hit the hardest with most intra-city transportation systems running smoothly.
The strike is set to end at 1 AM Saturday morning. The union however is threatening to strike again over Christmas and New Years holidays if conditions aren’t met.
We wish our friends and fellow Cheapos in France and Germany good luck with their commutes. See you on Monday!
