On Tuesday evening, three major unions in France called for a railway strike that would begin at 7pm. This strike, which carried over into Wednesday, caused the railway operator SNCF to suspend service for 4 out of its 10 high-speed trains. In addition to this, the company had to cancel half of its commuter trains. On Tuesday, Hollande reaffirmed that he will continue with his labor reform measures. Tensions are high in France as it will host the Euro 2016 soccer tournament on June 10th.
