French National Public Holiday's 
April 17, 2014 It's been known, in the past for French unions, if I may say. To strike the day before or after a long week-end. (Gives them extra time in the sun. Bitchy, bitchy, sorry, sometimes I can't help myself) 
Put it in perspective our front page has up a strike by National airline Air France for the month of May. Now I see why.

Monday April 21 Easter Monday
Thursday May 1 Labour Day
Thursday May 8 Victory Day
Thursday May 29 Ascension Day
Monday June 9 Whit Monday
Monday July 14 Bastille Day
Friday August 15 Assumption Day
Christmas 2014 and New Year are on a Thursday.
