Curfew imposed on Guadeloupe after strike as workers battle over pay
THE government of the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe imposed a curfew on Saturday, a day after a strike by workers left 370,000 people in darkness for nearly 24 hours.
A dispute over pay has pitted the energy branch of the left-wing CGT trade union confederation against utility company EDF since mid-September.
The blackout left some households without water, and mobile phone coverage was severely affected.
