VERBATIM: The union representing Paris sanitation workers said its members are returning to their jobs, ending strike action that lasted from more than three weeks.

The dwindling number of protesters is seen by some as the beginning of the end of demonstrations against Macron’s raising of the retire age from 62 to 64.
