The Spaf (Air France pilots' union) called on its members to strike on April 15 and 16. The strike call was issued to protest against a proposed law aimed at limiting the right to strike in the transport sector.

The text tabled by the centrist Hervé Marseille (UDI) must be debated in the Senate on April 9. It aims to establish “each year periods of a maximum of 15 days during which the government may prohibit strikes for staff of public transport services”
