Transport, school, work: how the strike disrupted the day of the French

For many French people, this day is far from a usual Tuesday. It’s 11 a.m. in Brest, and instead of being at school closed for strike, Catharina and Olivia are playing cards at home. And Virginie, she will not be able to follow her training. Many have no other choice but to stay at home to look after the children or to save themselves the difficulties of transportation. In a company near Clermont-Ferrand, three quarters of the employees are teleworking against half usually. And the meetings, as well as the business trips for this Tuesday, have been postponed.
