Overview

• Six unions — CFDT, CGT, FO, SNJ, SUD and UNSA — have called an open‑ended strike starting Monday, August 25, after filing notice on July 11.
• The action could disrupt multiple antennas, notably France Inter’s morning show set to debut Benjamin Duhamel alongside Nicolas Demorand.
• Staff oppose reforms under president Sibyle Veil including ending Mouv’ on FM, reorienting Ici’s editorial line and cutting investigative and reporting programs.
• Unions said Friday’s negotiations produced no concessions from management and did not lift the strike notice.
• The dispute unfolds as the France Médias holding bill passed the Senate in July and is due back in the National Assembly in the autumn, with record Radio France audiences heightening the stakes.
