  -> look, this is a contract, they are worried about concrete stuff like strikes (or better: industrial action), not about social conflicts which are undoubtedly an issue of interest to newspapers (class issues, racial tensions etc.)
disagree  Steven Geller: This is "force majeur", specifically "différends avec des tiers" = third parties - industrial actions are not "force majeure" and do not involve third parties.
