TRANSPORT

National train services and public transport in Paris face a 7th successive day of severe disruption in a protest over government plans to end early retirement privileges. The SNCF is predicting 330 out of 700 fast TGV trains will run on Tuesday. while only 1 in 4 or 5 metro trains will be running in Paris.

ENERGY

The CGT, France's main energy union, has called a 24-hour strike, including a cut in nuclear power capacity, starting at 3:00 p.m. EST on Monday. The energy sector is also affected by the pensions reform.

TEACHERS, CIVIL SERVANTS, PUBLIC SECTOR

Unions have called a 24-hour strike to protest against government plans to trim public sector jobs by not replacing some retirees in the coming years.

Schools, tax offices, hospitals, France Telecom and government administrations are all likely to be hit. Air traffic controllers at Paris's second airport, Orly, and in Marseille have also warned they might hold a 24-hour strike starting at 2 p.m. EST on Monday.

UNIVERSITIES

Students have been protesting since the start of November over a government reform that gives universities greater autonomy. More than 20 of France's 85 universities are blocked by protesters. Four high schools were also blocked by their students on Monday in a sign the protest could spread. Student leaders have urged students to join the civil servant rallies.

NEWSPAPERS

There are expected to be no newspapers at the news stands on Tuesday because of a one-day strike by distributors who are protesting over a reform of their highly-regulated sector that is set to cost 350 jobs.
