<p>Demonstrators gathered early at a central square in the port town of Harfleur, near Le Havre, setting off fireworks and air horns.</p>
<p>Activists were unapologetic about the disruption they planned.</p>
<p>We have to hit where it hurts,&#8221; said union official Gilles Guyomard. &#8220;And where it hurts is the bosses&#8217; wallets.&#8221;</p>
<p>The activists then went to the 2km Pont de Normandie, which bridges the Seine River at Le Havre, setting a pile of tyres on fire and blocking toll booths.</p>
<p>Strikes and protests are being held around France against a labour bill that extends the work week and makes layoffs easier.</p>
<p>The latest action comes the day after France started using fuel reserves to deal with petrol shortages caused by the protests.</p>
