Staff at Tahiti's electricity company strike

10:44 am on 10 November 2017

Staff at Tahiti's electricity company EDT have gone on strike.

This comes after giving notice last week seeking better conditions.

All but one of EDT's offices are closed.

Meanwhile, fresh talks are expected today in a bid to settle a strike by hospital doctors - now in its fourth day.

They have demanded recognition of service done outside French Polynesia when assessing their pay.

Air France staff in Tahiti have also given strike notice.
