France - Strike over threats to pre-school provision - March 18, 2010

The Interno federation affiliated to the CFDT union confederation has organised a national strike on 11 March in protest at changes to regulations covering nurseries that will lead to lower staffing levels and the employment of less qualified staff. The union is concerned about the implications for both nursery workers and the children in their care.
