All trains (short, medium or long distance) managed by the SNCF are concerned. In question ? Soaring inflation and lagging wages.

The disturbances will take place from this Tuesday July 5 from 7 p.m. until Thursday July 7 at 8 a.m. “The notice as filed today is valid for one day,” Axel Persson, Secretary General CGT Cheminots de Trappes told BFM TV. “On the other hand, it is obvious that if the management does not offer solutions, answers that live up to our demands, we will ask ourselves the question at some point, how the movement will continue, but it is too early to tell you when it will continue, in what form it will be, will it be the next day or at the start of the school year? It’s too early to tell you, “he continued. .
Travelers on canceled TGV and Intercités trains receive the information via e-mail or SMS. On the other hand, users of TER without a connection do not receive SMS. It is advisable to verify the information by informing its train number on the SNCF website.
The CGT-Cheminots, SUD-Rail, UNSA railway and CFDT unions called for a strike by railway workers on Wednesday July 6 to demand “measures to catch up with wages for inflation”, but also “a general increase in wages and the revaluation of bonuses” or even “a revaluation of all allowances, gratuities and indemnities”. On June 16, they would have already made a “request for immediate consultation” on the revaluation of wages with the president of the SNCF Jean-Pierre Farandou but “the management refused to receive the trade union organizations”, explains the press release.
Asked about this SNCF strike of July 6 on the plateau of Public Senate, SNCF CEO Jean-Pierre Farandou was rather reassuring, indicating that a salary increase was under discussion. “When we look at the notice that was filed by the unions, it is a day, a single day. Maybe it will not take place, we will discuss to try to avoid it If it takes place, it will last only one day, the big departures which follow are not impacted, it is important”.
