PARIS, Jan 20 (Reuters) – French power workers downed tools on Tuesday and commuters feared chaos from a looming rail strike at the start of a week of protests intended to put pressure on the government over pay, conditions and reforms.
Workers at Electricite de France [EDF.UL] staged protests across the country and planned to lower power output in a 24-hour strike against privatisation of state utilities. Blackouts were not expected in French homes.
