In addition to denouncing an “unfair, brutal and ineffective bill”, as the communicated published by the inter-union of the RATP, the striking agents intend to protect their special pension scheme, which is threatened by the reform of the government. “The interest of having a special regime is first of all to take into account the arduousness of the work. The agents are confronted with night shifts, working underground and handling toxic products”, explained Bertrand Hammache, secretary general of the CGT RATP, to France 3.
