Centrist senators propose regulating the right to strike during school holidays. The text plans to grant the government an annual capital of 60 days of strike ban for “staff of public transport services” The executive could distribute this capital by decree as it wishes within a limit of fifteen days per ban period.
The proposed law, based on the system in place in Italy, clearly targets school holiday periods, often targeted by unions to launch their strike notices. “We are not prohibiting trade unionists from striking, we are trying to protect the French against excessive and repeated hostage-taking,” says Hervé Marseille.
