Labor unions at Paris airports Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and Orly announced a strike for July 17th, just before the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Unions demand better working conditions, including bonuses for all employees, increased hiring, and the ability to take time off during the Games.

The strike protests selective bonuses given by the CEO, raising concerns for up to 350,000 daily visitors during the Olympics.

Management's decision to offer bonuses and extra days off only to headquarters volunteers has fueled union dissatisfaction.

Both airports are preparing for arriving athletes with a new oversized baggage terminal for equipment like kayaks, bikes, and pole vaulting poles.

Despite concerns, airport administration assures flights will not be canceled during the strike.

Unions requested resources to handle increased air traffic during the Games but did not receive a satisfactory response.

Due to lack of progress in negotiations, unions have ceased communication with management until demands are met.

The strike reflects ongoing disagreements between unions and company leadership, with strong employee support.
