Striking French rail workers disrupted train services for the seventh day this month on Wednesday. They spurned government calls to end the industrial action over reforms at the state-owned SNCF railway company, Reuters said. The rolling strikes, are due to continue until the end of June. The actions entered a new, more testing phase for unions a day after the parliament’s lower house approved the railway reform bill they are fighting. “Unions are free to do as they see fit… but a majority of French people want this reform,” Labor Minister Muriel Penicaud told France 2 television. “There comes a time when you need to bring an end to the strikes.” All four major unions are contesting a reform which is the biggest since the nationalization of the railways in 1937. The plan is seen as a test of President Emmanuel Macron’s determination to pursue a far broader raft of economic and social reforms during a term that runs to 2022.
