                      Customs Officers Take Industrial Action

      During March-April 2002, uniformed customs officers in France took various
forms of industrial action to support demands for an increase in their danger bonus
and enhanced pension conditions. Proposals tabled by the Minister of the Economy
and Finance satisfied the demands of the officers' inter-union committee, and
striking workers returned to work in most regions, with the notable exception of
Orly airport.
      In recent months, uniformed customs officers - 9,000 out of a total of 19,500
customs officers - have been demanding an increase in their 'danger bonus' and
enhanced pension conditions. From March 2002, they stepped up industrial action
in an attempt to promote their demands. Their tactics included blocking ferries and
access to airports and border crossings, and closing down motorway toll-booths.
      Their actions took various forms, including refusing to wear uniforms,
blockading trains, shutting down motorway toll booths and working to rule, as well
as more spectacular tactics, such as an incident in Dunkirk on 22 March, where
officers walled up the customs department with concrete blocks.
      Customs officers consider their jobs to be just as dangerous, if not more so, as
those of police officers. They are therefore demanding that their danger bonus –
currently standing at 9% of pay - be brought into line with the 23% paid to police
officers. Customs officers are also demanding an increase in pension funding of
