Strikes and occupations continue to sweep across France, although the dispute of the government dockyard and munitions factory workers has now been settled.
The state employers were forced to put an end to regional differentials, to guarantee employment levels, and to make substantial concessions on wages in a complex deal.
Workers at eight of the Moulinex factories are still on strike, although deals on the wage claim have now been made at some plants.
In Northern France, injunctions have been taken out against the strikers at Gravelines, where pickets have blocked all access to the construction sites at the nuclear power plant.
The court orders have been met with the threat of a general strike in the Dunkirk region.
