Not sure what's going on. Their journalists just went back to work after a five
week strike. Perhaps some other bargaining unit went out?

Update: The journalists mentioned above are apparently Radio France journalists, and
they must be separate from Radio France International per that below via DXLD.

** FRANCE. RFI STRIKE TALKS REMAIN DEADLOCKED

The inter-union syndicate of journalists at Radio France International
(RFI), where journalists have been on strike since last Wednesday,
refused to take part in negotiations with management yesterday on the
grounds that they had not come up with any new proposals. The RFI
journalists want a new wage settlement on the lines of that awarded to
colleagues at Radio France, whose 18 day strike ended on Friday. A
mass meeting today will decide whether or not to continue the strike
at RFI. According to the unions, between 65% and 70% of the
journalists refused to work yesterday. Management put the figure at
52%. # posted by Andy @ 13:40 UT Feb 16 (Media Network blog via DXLD)
