Paris airport staff - July 17 (called off), July 26
Ad
Four major unions called on staff at Paris' two major airports (Charles de Gaulle Roissy and Orly) to strike on July 17, however a last-minute agreement led to the strike being called off.
The motion came after a breakdown in negotiation between unions and management of the airports, over working conditions and Olympic bonuses for staff, which unions said were only offered to some but not all workers.
Management agreed to offer an across-the-board standard bonus, as well as additional bonuses to those who volunteered, or were scheduled, to work directly with Olympic delegations.

Further strike action, potentially during the Olympic Games, is now unlikely to be called.
Staff from one union, the FO, will strike on July 26, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, as they do not agree with the negotiation signed by other unions.
Motorway staff working on routes managed by the Autoroutes de Sud de la France, including toll booth assistants, are on strike these dates over job cuts and working conditions.
Disruptions are expected to be minimal, however delays may occur if people have issues at automatic toll booths, with workers unlikely to be on hand to help.
The strike was called to coincide with a busy weekend of traffic in the south of France, with families beginning summer holidays. Further strike action is possible, but has not been called yet.
Municipal police officers belonging to multiple unions – SNSP, CFTC-PM-SPT, SNPM, l’UNSA, FSU, Sud and ANCTS – will strike from July 14 to August 15.
Officers are demanding a change in the status of their role, which they say has remained the same since 1999, as well as better pay and pensions.
It may affect the final days of the Olympic Torch procession, as well as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 26.
It is recommended you keep up to date with local news sources in your area to see if the strikes will affect you.

Olympic opening ceremony dancers, July 26 (called off)
Interpretive dancers taking part in the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games filed a strike notice for the day of the event, as well as for the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games (August 28).
However, this was retracted after successful negotiation between unions representing the dancers and the team producing the show.
The disagreement was over the treatment of some self-employed dancers.
