MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Since May, French energy and transport sectors have been petrified by large-scale strikes over labor reforms, which seek to extend working hours, impose a cap on damages in cases of unfair dismissal as well as remove barriers to firing employees on economic grounds.
"[Strikers] should act responsibly, it does not mean to abandon their demands but to ensure that everyone could enjoy this high-profile sport event," Hollande said, as quoted by BFMTV.
France will host the Euro 2016 from June 10 to July 10. Games will take place on stadiums all over the country, including Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux and Toulouse.
