STRIKE RATP. The RATP unions are calling for a day of strike and mobilization for Thursday, November 10, 2022 in public transport in Paris and Île-de-France. Very strong disturbances are to be expected in the metro and the RER.
[Mis à jour le 6 novembre 2022 à 15h13] If you live in the Île-de-France region, you will certainly have to use your car if you wish to travel to the heart of the capital on Thursday November 10, 2022. Thus, a dark day is expected for users of the metro, the tramway and the Parisian RER. The RATP joins the general strike movement at the call of the unions CGT, FO, Solidaires and Unsa of the RATP. This Friday, November 4, the FO-RATP delegate Bastien Berthier, guest of Bonjour l’Ile-de-France, announced that the drivers were going to “mobilize en masse” and that “metro lines” were going to “close”. The stated objective is clear: “Zero metro/zero RER.”
The main demand is still the general increase in wages, but also to challenge the lack of staff and the working conditions which are deteriorating. “Whatever the management says, its share of responsibility is undeniable in the situation of our working conditions in perpetual deterioration due to lack of anticipation”, relates the inter-union in a press release published on Twitter. And to add: “The posture of immobility of the Directions of the metro and the RER fertilizes a fertile ground for a conflict that our Union Organizations will carry and lead with determination, in connection with the driving agents.”
Thursday, November 10, if the disturbances are not yet known and will be 48 hours in advance on this page, there is no doubt that the bus lines, metros, RER and trams will be impacted in Île-de-France, and that metro stations will be at risk of closing due to demonstrations linked to the interprofessional strike in Paris. Indeed, in the press release below from the RATP unions for the strike day of November 10, the objective is to achieve “0 metro, 0 RER“:
The strike notice at the RATP for Thursday November 10, 2022 will take place from Wednesday November 9, 2022 at 10 p.m. until Friday November 11, 2022 at 7 a.m. On the side of the SNCF, only the CGT-Cheminots has called on its agents to strike and for the moment, no disruption has been clearly announced:
