French job protesters pledge strike action
French students and unions are vowing to press ahead with a one-day strike and more protests tomorrow unless the government withdraws a new youth labour law that has sparked violent demonstrations and shut down universities.
The strike is expected to leave some air travellers stranded, disrupt train traffic and slow down subway travel in Paris and the provinces. Union leaders said they would meet Wednesday to decide on the next step, and one threatened to extend the strike.
