French clubs to strike over 'super tax' row - union
French clubs will go on strike in November in protest at plans to impose higher taxes on players.
The government wants those earning a salary of more than 1m euros (£850,000) to pay a 75% 'super tax'.
Jean-Pierre Louvel, president of professional clubs'
union UCPF, said: "There will be a weekend without a game at the end of
the month (November)."
The strike will affect matches in Ligue 1 and 2 - the top two divisions - from 29 November to 2 December.
