## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the same October 30 docker strike, but the center emphasizes disruptions and wage demands, the left the political and international scope of the movement, the right the immobilization of ports and its union framework.

**Common ground**

- A 24-hour docker strike disrupts or immobilizes French and European ports on Friday, October 30
- The CGT National Federation of Ports and Docks is behind the call in France and represents about 90% of sector employees
- French ports are announced at a 95% standstill according to the CGT
- The strike opposes the militarization of ports and is part of a European and international framework

**Differences**

- The left highlights the refusal to load weapons and the international political dimension (Palestine, arms race), an angle little present on the right
- The center cites wage increases among the demands, an element absent from the provided left-wing articles
- The left evokes a possible general strike on November 5 and Fabien Roussel's support, absent from the center and right articles
- The right emphasizes the social crisis and the European Dockworkers Council framework, little highlighted on the left
