Paris: After two days of air traffic controller strikes, French rail workers are now walking off the job to protest a reorganisation of the national rail and train companies.
Up to 70 percent of trains in France will be canceled today. The action began Wednesday night, affecting overnight, international travel and ends Friday morning.
Commuter traffic around Paris will be especially hard hit, with only one in three trains guaranteed.
The strike comes as an action by air traffic controllers protesting an EU plan to simplify the continent's patchwork airspace ends. Thousands of flights around France were canceled over the past two days, but traffic was returning to normal today. But tourists trying to get to or from the Paris airports by train are running into the rail strike.
