Transport workers in Paris are calling for a 'massive' strike on Friday, which could continue for an indefinite period if their demands are not met.

Workers on the city's RATP network staged a one-day strike on February 18th which halted a large number of Metro, bus and tram services.

Another strike has been called for Friday, March 25th, but this time the strike duration is 'unlimited' according to the strike notice filed by unions.

"If the company does not make any major changes, March 25th will mark the start of long and hard action for the public service," says the notice filed by the FO union.

The strike is over pay, with RATP workers saying that the cost of living crisis means they can no longer live on their wages.

I'm assuming the 18 May strike was in 2021?
