The parents of students at a school in the Paris region had prepared for it. “Marianne agreed to take Paul, her son, and Anouk, my daughter, to her house at midday. I could have made arrangements but we prefer to share the effort,” confides a father.

Another agrees: "This evening I will organize myself with my work to leave a little bit earlier and pick it up around 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. "For other parents, it was a day of rest that had to be put aside. “It doesn’t suit me, but that’s how it is.

Anyway, it was either me or his father, and his father really not being able to take the day off, it's me," slips a mother. And when it's impossible to take time off from work, it's system D. "I have to drop him off at my sister's house to be able to go to work, it's a bit complicated," admits another.

Middle and high schools are also affected throughout France. The SNES-FSU, the first secondary union, claims 52% of strikers, compared to only 13% according to the ministry for all National Education staff. One in ten TGVs canceled At the SNCF, traffic is disrupted, mainly on the Intercités and the TER.

One in ten TGVs is canceled. “When I looked at my train the day before yesterday, my TGV which allowed me to return to Pau was canceled at noon, so I was able to fall back on a TER this morning,” explains a user. This strike of November 5 also concerns traders, as in Bordeaux (Gironde).

Many fear breakage, but it is also the loss of turnover that worries them. “We have been between minus 50, minus 60% since October 17. There are no more tourists,” regrets one of them.

Other events have already been announced for this weekend.
