Is there a website one can go to in order to find out about upcoming strikes in Paris?

http://www.19mars2009.fr/
It%26#39;s all in French, but you could plug it into Google Language Tools to get the drift.
It%26#39;s a one day strike, starting at 8pm on 18 March, and continuing for 24 hours.
|||
I am looking for a general website which announces future strikes beyond tomorrow%26#39;s strike.
|||
There%26#39;s not a single website anywhere, because there%26#39;s not a central clearing house of strikes. The last two (one in January, and the one on 19 March) had their own websites, but there isn%26#39;t an %26quot;official strike website%26quot; - keep an eye on French/Paris news (LeMonde.com, leparisien.fr are two of the big ones) -- there will be announcements a month or so in advance, but it will appear in the press first.
There are a dozen or so major labor organizations -- sometimes one of them strikes, sometimes one strikes and others join in a sympathy strike, other times (like tomorrow) 8 or 9 of the largest unions coordinate their memebers. Other times it%26#39;s a work slowdown, other times it%26#39;s an interruption for a few hours, other times it%26#39;s an entire day%26#39;s actions -- there%26#39;s no telling.
It all changes from greve to greve.

Thanks for the info. Heading to Paris in 6 weeks and just want to stay up to date on any possible strikes during our visit.
|||
Keep watching here on TA, and try the websites I posted -- it%26#39;s the only way of finding out.
