✈ Four major French air sector unions (CGT, CFDT, FO, UNSA) called for a strike on Wednesday, July 17, at Paris' two main airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly. They demand that Aeroports de Paris (APD) apply Olympic bonuses, offered to some staff for the Games, universally and improve working conditions. The strike comes nine days before the Olympic Games' opening ceremony on July 26. Uncertainty surrounds potential flight cancellations, but air traffic controllers will not participate due to an "Olympic truce." Ground services, not flight operations, are affected, and administrative staff have been deployed to handle the increased tourist flow. Initially, APD allocated €70 per shift to "volunteers" and €100 for "critical" days, later granting a unilateral €1,000 bonus to "operational" agents amidst discontent from other airport employees.
