France - Municipal police plan strike action on 1 June - May 13, 2010

In the fact of government failure to negotiate, six trade unions (affiliated to CGT, CFDT, FO, FA-FPT, UNSA and CFTC) representing municipal police have called for a day of strike action and demonstrations in key cities across France. Among the union demands are regradings for a number of occupations and a recognition of the hardship and risks faced by the police.
