SNCF, La Poste and ADP staff plan anti-privatisation protest
The trade unions of the French railways (SNCF), post office (La Poste) and the Paris airport authority Aeroports de Paris (ADP) have issued a joint warning of their intention to hold a strike on Thursday in protest against proposed changes to the three companies. SNCF employees, for example, oppose the rail operator’s plans to restructure its freight division, while those of La Poste’s 130 mail-sorting centres are stopping work to, in their own words, defend their future and their jobs.
ADP staff, meanwhile, are protesting against legislation changing the airport operator’s by-laws.
