French hypermarket forced to stop Sunday trial
Supermarket group Casino has abandoned plans to open one of its Géant hypermarkets with only automatic self-scan tills on a second Sunday afternoon after hundreds of unionists threatened to protest.
Trials in 123 stores, including 15 hypermarkets, nonetheless went ahead the same day.
A first trial at the store at Vals-près-le-Puy (Haute-Loire) in December attracted 200 protesters, said the CGT union, which had planned a second and larger protest.
