Paris commuters and visiting tourists are set to face serious disruptions on Thursday as metro workers go on strike, with a third of subway lines completely closed and most others working only at peak hours.

The hardline CGT union called on workers nationwide to walk off their job but the impact beyond the millions who take the Paris metro every day could be quite limited. Other unions have not joined in after similar calls over the past weeks failed to gather much traction.

But Murielle Guilbert, co-head of Solidaires, another hardline union, told Reuters the union did not join the call fora nationwide strike because it “did not feel there was a potential for a massive mobilisation over wages and preferred focusing on specific sectors”.
