French train services have been severely disrupted as rail workers went on strike Tuesday - the first day of a three-month rolling walkout that will affect two days in every five.<br /> It could potentially be the biggest strike against President Emmanuel Macron's labor reforms since he took office last May. <br />France's state-owned rail company, SNCF, said 87 percent of high-speed trains and 80 percent of regional services were canceled on what local media are calling "Black Tuesday."<br />It also warned that major disruptions were expected on Wednesday.<br />Workers fear the proposed reforms could lead to the SNCF's privatization, which could in turn take away their job-for-life guarantees, annual pay rises and the right to early retirement. <br />
