Following the long-heralded increases in employer NI contributions and the National Living Wage, all eyes were on labour costs this April. British businesses were asked: "Which of the following challenges, if any, are currently impacting your business's turnover?" Only 16.1% of transportation & storage firms who responded between 19 April and 18 May said labour costs had impacted their turnover. That's significantly fewer than the 26.3% of manufacturers and 22.1% of retailers who said labour costs were impacting their businesses.

The surprise strike by air traffic controllers at Toulouse-Blagnac airport disrupted both departures and arrivals, reflecting ongoing labor tensions within the French transportation sector.
