Any info out there on strikes called for June 2019?
We're going to be in France in June, so I'm starting to look at train schedules. I know it's early for this kind of thing to be announced and that many job actions are announced at the last minute, but I wonder if anyone is aware of any planned strikes on SNCF or Air France (we usually fly Delta, a code-share; many of the flights are actually AF).
What's the best place to follow developments regarding transportation strikes?
Thanks for your help.

There are no strikes scheduled in France for as far ahead as June. The next general strike is scheduled for March 19...nothing beyond that. Strikes of any kind have to be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead of time.
Google strike schedules France and you'll get plenty of websites. For train disruptions google SNCF perturbations.

They don't usually announce strikes that far in advance. It sounds like you only care about air and rail strikes.
nothing currently announced past 4/1, which is the douaniers.
Liste des grèves en cours et à venir en France ? Cestlagreve

Air France is very calm at the moment because the new CEO has become unexpectedly popular and has raised all of the salaries.
As for any other strike information, you should know that the majority of strike notices are withdrawn at the last minute and that in any case, only 8% of French employees are unionized, so the vast majority of strikes go unnoticed. Problems take place when key positions are unionized such at ATC or train drivers.
