Traffic around the Stade de France is expected to
be high tonight after union bosses extended their
industrial action into a 10th day
Rail bosses have urged fans travelling to the
Stade de France for the Euro 2016 opener
between France and Romania tonight to arrive as
early as possible due to a massive strike affecting
trains in the area.
The SNCF strike has entered its 10th day after
union bosses renewed action on Thursday. RER B
and RER D lines – operated by SNCF - serve the
Stade de France and the industrial action is set to
disrupt supporters on the first day of the European
Championships.
Up to 80,000 fans will descend on the northern
Paris venue while another 50,000 “every day”
users of the trains will also be attempting to make
their way home on the affected lines. SNCF has
pledged that one train every six minutes will run
towards the Stade de France on the RER B line
from Gare du Nord, while one train will run every
10 minutes on the RER D line. Shuttle services will
be provided from three hours before kick-off until
three hours after the game.
Meanwhile Air France pilots will start a four-day
strike on Saturday June 11 after union bosses
turned down a deal on Thursday. Unions expect
70 to 80 per cent of medium and long haul flights
to take to the skies on Saturday but massive
disruption is expected.
Workers at Paris’s biggest waste treatment centre
at Ivry-sur-Seine remain on what is now a 12-
day strike meaning garbage around the French
capital is not being picked up. Private waste
disposal operators who operate in 10 of Paris’s 20
districts have been asked to do more to help. That
industrial action is expected to last until June 14.
There is also an 18-day strike in place at the Le
Havre oil refineries – which take 40 per cent of
France’s crude imports and serve Paris’s airports
– but the government has guaranteed a minimum
service since the end of May.

I thought that it was only Nigerians that go on strike.
