More unions called on to join strike Monday; travellers advised not to use trains

A passenger walks with his bicycle on empty platform of a RER suburb subway, in Paris, Sunday, Dec. 8, 2019 on the fourth day of nationwide strikes that disrupted weekend travel around France.France braced for even worse transportation woes when the new work week begins Monday due to nationwide strikes over the government’s redesign of the national retirement system. French President Emmanuel Macron convened top officials to strategize for the high-stakes week ahead.

Monday will be an even bigger test of the strike movement’s strength and of commuters’ and tourists’ patience. Unions are calling for more people to join the strike Monday. Many employees worked from home or took a day off when the strikes began last week, but that’s not sustainable if the strikes drag on.

Unions see the reforms as an attack on worker rights and fear that people will have to work longer for smaller pensions. Some French workers can now retire in their 50s.
