All major French ports, particularly the container hubs of Le Havre and Marseille Forth, are facing the threat of a month-long strike in the near future, which is expected to cause significant operational disruption and disruption.

The strike was prompted by the union representing dockworkers and other port workers, which plans to hold several one-day strikes and multiple stoptimes lasting four hours in June to protest the government's pension reforms that raise the legal retirement age. The union plans to continue strike action in the coming weeks, which could be extended into July if the union fails to get a satisfactory answer from the government.
