What does a French strike warning of 3 hours 59 minutes mean exactly?

Strikes are often arranged by the union leaders to begin at X:01 so that the workers have to arrive, so that in turn they have workers on hand to picket.

Usually, half a day of work is 4 hours in some companies. So it could mean that the strike duration will be just a bit less than half a day so that workers on strike haven’t not more than half a day removed from their pay…

Having said that, I think it is more related to the way the event management program is set. The person who input the strike event into the system has certainly put from XX:00 to ZZ:00 and then the program calculated 3 hours and 59 minutes rather than 4 hours, probably because of some rounding problems.

I guess this is just a tentative schedule and you could expect impact to start a bit before and potentially extend way beyond the planned end date. No one can really predict if the strike will extend or not…
