PARIS, France (CNN) -- Striking railway workers have carried out "a coordinated campaign of sabotage" on the tracks of France's high-speed TGV rail network, setting fire to cables and signal boxes and causing delays of up to three hours, France's national rail authority said Wednesday.
French Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau denounced "grave abuses" and described the coordinated character of the acts as "unacceptable."
Unions also condemned the acts of vandalism "committed by cowards."

Some went as far as to claim that the acts were committed on behalf of the Transport officials to make the unions look bad. Thousands of angry commuters blaming their hell day on the unions... would be an effective anti-union tactic.
Anyway, if anybody isn't up-to-date on this I've included this link on the back story.
