France: Unionized railway personnel to strike in northern regions May 29

Unionized railway Train Commercial Service Agents (ASCTs) working on the North High-Speed Line (Ligne a Grande Vitesse Nord, LGV Nord) plan to strike in northern France May 29. The purpose of the action is to denounce several incidents of attacks against LGV Nord ASCTs. LGV Nord services the following stations:

• Arras: Gare d'Arras

• Calais: Gare de Calais-Frethun

• Estrees-Deniecourt: Gare de Train a Grande Vitesse (TGV) Huate-Picardie

• Lille: Gare de Lille-Europe

• Paris: Gare du Nord

Rail service disruptions are possible on LGV Nord throughout the day May 29. Picket protests may occur at LGV Nord stations; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that take shape.
