Unions representing workers at Aeroports de Paris ADP are planning to strike on July 17, they say, days before the start of the 2024 Olympics, to increase pressure on management to meet demands over pay and work conditions.

The unions, including the CGT, CFDT, FO and UNSA unions, are demanding a bonus for all airport staff and additional resources during the busy Olympics period.

The Games begin in Paris on July 26.

The ADP group runs the French capital's Orly and Roissy Charles de Gaulle airports.
