France: Strike shuts down publication at Le Monde
Posted by Kelley Vendeland on April 15, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Le Monde's presses were cold on April 14, with an employee strike halting publication for only the second time in the 64-year long history of the paper.
Le Monde, which is distributed in the early afternoon, was not available yesterday and this morning on newsstands around France. A new edition will appear today at lunchtime.
The strike, voted by employees on April 8, was in protest of a planned 130 job cuts announced by the paper's management. The cuts represent one in four journalists at Le Monde.
