If, by the end of the year, the controllers and the unions do not succeed in winning their case, new strikes could hit the French rail transport network during the Christmas holidays, a period when many French people take the train. Indeed, if the strike movement last weekend did not start from the SNCF unions, but from a collective of controllers, four unions have since given their support to the movement: Unsa, SUD-Rail, CFDT and FO locally.
The four unions have filed strike notices for the weekends of Friday December 23 to Monday December 26 and from Friday December 30 to Monday January 2, with the aim of putting pressure on the negotiations with the SNCF. Saturday, December 3, the Minister of Transport Clément Beaune nevertheless wanted to put this scenario of paralysis of transport for the end of year celebrations into perspective. “I can’t bring myself to have things written down,” he said, calling for “collective responsibility”, according to comments reported by BFM TV. “The week is decisive”, announced the national secretary at the CFDT-railway workers Sabine Le Toquin. “We will know if Christmas is in danger or not. The ball is in the company’s court”.
