A new showdown will take place between the unions of road transport and management. The Inter (CFDT, CGT, FO, CFTC, CFE-CGC) has indeed launched from Sunday night a call for indefinite strike to force the employers to return to the table of wage negotiations, but do not have the ambition to “block” the country.
