TechnoratiFrench airport strike continues but air traffic “normal”
Security staff at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport voted on Monday to continue their strike. The vote comes four days after officials sent in police to ensure their action did not disrupt holiday travel.
Around 200 workers voted to continue their pay dispute in a show of hands at the airport.
President Nicolas Sarkozy said last week that the government would use “all necessary measures” to make sure the French holiday season was not “taken hostage” by strikers.
A day later police were deployed to work alongside non-striking security workers to check passengers and baggage.
The industrial action has so far had only limited impact on international flights with only minor delays reported.
An airport spokesman said air traffic was running normally Monday morning.
