The French government will offer bonuses to civil servants deployed across the capital during the Olympic and Paralympic Games in a bid to avoid strikes during the events this summer, the country’s Minister for Transformation and Public Administration, Stanislas Guerini, said Saturday.
Eligible employees will get a bonus ranging from 500 euros ($547) to 1,500 euros ($1,641) — in addition to their salaries — for working during the Summer Games in Paris and the ensuing Paralympics, Guerini said.
