Charles de Gaulle airport targeted, trains disrupted and some schools shut in nationwide day of action
French workers angry with a rise in the pension age have blocked access to a terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris as part of a nationwide day of protests.
Train services were disrupted and some schools shut while rubbish piled up on the streets, and electricity output was cut as unions raised pressure on the government to withdraw the law that delays retirement by two years to 64.
