France hit by strikes
NZPA-Reuter Paris French trade unions today begin a wave of protest strikes against the Socialist Government's plan for tough income limits until 1984.
In the next few days, leading up to the end of France's four-month wage and price freeze on October 31, thousands of employees are due to stop work for various periods on the instructions of the country’s main trade unions.
Today and tomorrow civil servants are being called out by the two most powerful unions, the Communist-led Confederation Generale du Travail, and the pro-Socialist Confederation Francaise Democratique de Travail. Railway workers, dockers, coal miners and Paris transport employees are also due to strike this week.
