Air France pilots have announced they plan to strike for multiple days during June, football tournament be damned.
SNPL, the the main pilots' union, informed AFP News of its decision to strike on May 30. SNPL chief Philippe Evain said while a date for strike action has yet to be confirmed, Air France pilots approved the principle of a lengthy strike in June.
The news casts another shadow over travel options for Euro 2016. France is currently going through a wave of public transport protests as many French workers look to protest government plans for labour law reforms.
As the BBC has reported, the French government is looking to deregulate some of the rules around the 35 hour working week, trying to give companies power to ask staff to work 45 or even 60 hours in "exceptional circumstances". Some workers may also be allowed to be asked to work weekends if the rules come to pass.
Here's hoping a peaceful resolution between strikers and government can be achieved. Especially before people look to fly out to France to enjoy what is sure to be a wonderful summer of football.
