Today is the second day of the strike on the RER B inside Paris, and the unions have announced that the strike will continue tomorrow (November 11th) as well. The strike can be renewed every day, one day at a time.
The RER B is operating on reduced service south of Denfert-Rochereau and north of Gare du Nord. To compensate the lack of RER service inside Paris, the RATP has increased service on metro lines 4 and 6.

Whipped and kissed at the Cirque d'Hiver: Nikki runs away to Paris
Striking on armistice day is a fitting way to remember the sacrifices of europe's finest.
As the strikers said, "Why should we stop striking if our demands are not respected?"
Actually, strikes on isolated holidays are considered a lot less annoying than strikes on working days.
As it turned out the RER B is running at 75% in Paris today, although a change of trains is still required at Gare du Nord.
The strike continues south of Gare du Nord -- service is only 50% until further notice...
