French Supermarket Workers Strike over Wages

Thousands of French supermarket workers went on strike on Friday to demand higher salaries and better job conditions.

The strike by supermarket employees was
the latest in a series of protests by European workers who want to
see salaries keep in step with higher food and energy prices and
which have central bankers warning against inflationary wage
claims.
France's supermarkets and hypermarkets employ around
636,000 people. The Force Ouvriere union said 80 percent of
hypermarket workers went on strike on Friday, slightly more than 65
percent in supermarkets.
