Thanks Bets for the info and the link!

Here is an edited (by me) translation:

"General and national strike on Friday, 13 October 2023

An inter-union, composed of eight workers'unions and five youth organizations, is calling for a day of mobilization on Friday, 13 October 2023, with rallies, demonstrations and strikes.

Disruptions

The precise impact of this mobilisation on businesses and public services is complicated to predict because, in most industries, employees are not obliged to declare themselves to be a striker in advance.

SNCF

In a joint statement, three railway workers' unions are calling for a strike at the SNCF (source).

1 to 2 days in advance, you will be able to consult the traffic forecasts of the various train lines (TGV, Ouigo, TER, Intercités, Transilien and international lines) on the SNCF website as well as on the regional sites dedicated to TERs.

Urban transport

It is possible that some public transport networks may be affected by the strike.

The disruptions will be linked not only to the mobilization of agents, but also to the deviations related to the demonstrations that will take place on that day.

Check the website of the transport network of your conurbation for travel forecasts of buses, trams and subways.

In the Paris region, the CGT RATP filed a strike forecast from 2.30 p.m. on October 14 at 7:00 (source).
The day before, you can check the forecasts for bus, tram, subway and RER lines on the RATP site.

Aerial

Air traffic controllers are called upon to be mobilized by their syndicates USAC CGT (source).

This could have an impact on air traffic."
