The great strikes of 1953 affected all public services and brought the country to a standstill; they thwarted the austerity plans of the government of Joseph Laniel, President of the Council - Vincent Auriol Head of State. There was a general strike by postal workers, mail and telephone operators, gas workers, underground workers, railway workers and others.
It was followed by 4 million workers from 7 August to 25 August.
The Chambers of Commerce organised a mail transport service for companies, using road hauliers and the army.
