France's main ports go on strike against pension reform. At the call of the CGT, dockers are demanding recognition of their arduous work to obtain better early retirement.
Several hundred dockers from the Fos-sur-Mer basins (Bouches-du-Rhône) gathered in the middle of the morning in front of the -prefecture of Istres. Around ten fires were lit in the port area and access blocked in Marseille and Le Havre.
