Trash pickup is set to resume Saturday after Republic Services and the Teamsters reached a tentative deal Friday, ending a nearly two-week strike that left garbage piling up across cities from San Jose to Fairfield.

Strikes by French air traffic controllers affected over a million people's travel plans this month - and may be set to continue.

Whilst partners at EY take home an average of £723,000 a year, the already overworked cleaning workforce who make just £13.85 an hour are being told that over a third of their jobs are at risk.

Guides, lecturers, and storytellers at Paris' museums protested for better pay and job security, citing stagnant wages over the past 17 years and temporary contracts.

"As departing passenger flights are cancelled, cancellations are also possible on arriving flights," Brussels Airport stated in an advisory on its website.
