Workers at TV broadcaster Canal+ will walk off the job on 5 March, organising their second strike since the channel’s establishment 30 years ago. The workers, supported by all but one union, are protesting against deteriorating working conditions. Canal+ has recently carried out a round of redundancies; workers say this has increased the pressure on employees to deliver the same results with fewer people.
