French unions say 'non'

Dozens of flights to and from French airports were cancelled Tuesday due to a general strike.

The strike by French unions shut down trains, planes, buses, underground services, post offices and schools.

The dispute is over raising the country's retirement age from 60 to 62.

The French government says raising the age to 62 is essential because people are living longer.
