France: Unionized Easyjet employees to strike nationwide from Sept. 16

Unionized easyJet (U2) commercial flight personnel plan to strike indefinitely nationwide from Sept. 16. The Union of Civil Aviation Navigators announced the strike to denounce the company's plan to close its operations in Toulouse, impacting personnel's livelihoods. The union claims that the strike will continue indefinitely until new conditions are met. Negotiations will reportedly start from Sept. 16. Unionized workers could stage pickets within airport facilities and easyJet hubs across France.

Flight delays and cancellations related to the walkout are likely from Sept. 16. Increased security will likely be deployed in case of demonstrations, possibly prompting delays during check-in and security clearance operations.
