The French Democratic Labor Confederation called off its participation in a five-day strike that has created highway hell for commercial traffic trying to cross Western Europe. The union, which represents four out of five striking drivers, agreed to a deal for a 6 percent pay raise by 2000. Smaller unions cried sellout and promised to continue their efforts to block traffic at key highway junctions.
