Workers at the RATP, which manages the Paris public transport services, are on a renewable strike until September demanding bonuses for work during the Olympic Games.
Union affiliated workers can choose to strike on any day during the period, however strike action is not a certainty.
So far, it has not caused major disruption on the transport network.
Visitors are still advised to check in advance if they plan to travel on the network.
Staff at the two major Paris airports – Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) and Orly – have presented a list of demands to management over working conditions and bonuses during the Olympic Games.
Unions say that if management does not respond to their demands by July 5, they will file a strike motion covering some of the remainder of the month, including dates of the Olympic Games.
Note this strike concerns airport staff, rather than air traffic controllers.
