France braces for strikes
Five French unions called a national day of strikes and protests on 5 November, with authorities expecting 500,000 to 700,000 demonstrators to join more than 250 actions. The unions are seeking higher wages, including a €100 monthly net increase and a rise in the €12.31 hourly minimum wage, and protections for public services. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said 70,000 police and gendarmes would be deployed as disruption affected schools, hospitals, public transport and energy production.
