Another general strike is due to take place in France on 7 March.
The port of Calais just has a statement that says there could be some disruption, but no more information than that. https://www.portboulognecalais.fr/en/ Other French ports may be similarly affected, but there is no info. Eurotunnel are running with 4 departures per hour. https://www.eurotunnelfreight.com/uk/contact-us/travel-information/
Bison Fute identifies some roads have demonstrations on them, but again difficult to quantify.
