Unionized public transport workers to strike in Toulouse, France, June 14, 16, 20 and 21. Transport disruptions likely.
Event
Unionized public transport workers will strike in Toulouse, on four days between June 14-21. The CGT, SUD, and CFDT labor unions are demanding increased pay. The industrial action will affect buses, trams, and metro trains of the Tisseo network on June 14, 16, 20, and 21. Services will also likely be disrupted on the intervening days, due to the re-positioning of vehicles and transport personnel.
Increased congestion on available transport services and roads is likely as travelers seek alternative means of transport. Striking workers may gather to protest at transport hubs and government buildings. Heightened security is possible in the vicinity of protests. Violence is unlikely.
