PARIS, Jan 29 — Public transport in France will be heavily disrupted on Tuesday due to labour union strikes protesting the government's planned changes to pension, Transport Minister Clement Beaune said today.
He added that the government remained open to talks with the unions but he said that the government would maintain the core target of the change proposed by President Emmanuel Macron; the increase of the retirement age by two years to 64.The government wants to gradually increase the retirement age by three months per year from September, until 2030.
Unions - including the moderate CFDT union - are united against the reform and have vowed to continue strikes and demonstrations until the government drops its plans.
