AIR FRANCE--

Staff will now strike on Tuesday April 3rd and Saturday April 7th. That's on top of the action already planned for March 30th (Good Friday), which looks like causing a major Easter headache for some travellers.  Unions representing pilots, cabin crew and ground staff have called the strikes to demand a 6 percent pay rise across the board to make up a loss of their spending power in recent years due to stagnating wages. Management is offering a basic increase of 1 percent to be paid in two installments and a range of incentives, which trade unions have dismissed as "small change".
The unions representing Air France staff have said they will toughen up the pace of the strike action in the face of the airline management which they say has "offered no concrete response" to the demands already expressed during the strikes of February 22nd and March 23rd.
