BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

May 10, 2019 Reprints

A French air-traffic controllers' strike has disrupted the schedule of 5,000 flights and forced airlines to cancel 550 flights at several airports in cities including Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse, The Independent reported. The controllers went on strike on May 8 as part of a day of industrial action against the government's plans to reform the public sector and will resume on May 10. The strike is expected to cost airlines including U.K.-based easyJet P.L.C. and Ireland-based Ryanair Holdings P.L.C. millions of pounds.
