BBC World Service - World Business Report, New wave of protests over pension reform

Workers are striking over the French government's proposals to raise the pension age from 62 to 64.

Since January this year, hundreds of thousands of people have walked out across France in protest of proposed changes to the national pension age. France's unions have stepped up action against the unpopular reforms. 

The protests have made moving around cities difficult with regular traffic jams, train and flight delays.
