Following Air France's decision to stop its activities and flights at Paris Orly airport from 2026, several Air France unions called for a strike on Tuesday, November 28.
There could be disruptions this day but nothing has yet been confirmed by Air France
Thanks for posting!
Is it just some of the time that the unions have to give 2 weeks notice…or am I confusing strike actions in UK with France?
I think two weeks may be something to do with the UK.
In France the deadline that exists (in most services) is a 48-hour deadline prior to the strike for individual union members to report whether or not they plan to participate in a strike that their union has filed. The 48 hours then allows management to come up with the alternative minimum schedule.
Unions therefore have to file their strike motions officially sometime before 48 hours, so their members can file their individual participatory decisions by 48 hours. But I don't believe there is any other rule/requirement (certainly no two-week minimum that I have ever heard of).
Thanks, Kim! My brain was confused with strikes and Thanksgiving, hahaha!!
