France’s logistics sector has been hit by a day of national protests. Responding to newly elected president Macron’s “flagship” labour reforms, the country’s biggest trade union CGT has called on French workers to take to streets and vent their grievances.

UK-bound HGV drivers will inevitably become easy pickings for migrants,” said the association. Flights across the country have also been cancelled with air traffic controllers joining the action, leading to delays throughout Europe. Among the carriers affected are British Airways, and Air France, while Air Berlin is struggling with a mass of “sickness-related absences”, according to The Independent.
