“For the day of Tuesday May 24, traffic should be slightly improved on the bus and tram networks”, announces the management of the RATP. The company will communicate the forecast for Tuesday, May 24 this evening at 5 p.m.
After the previous black days of March 25 and February 18, the UNSA, FO, CGT, Solidaires, CFDT and SAT unions of the “surface networks” continue to denounce, in a joint press release, the company agreements generated by the opening competition from the Parisian bus network by 2025, which they consider to be a “break in the working conditions of machinists-receivers”.
Negotiations between unions and management on an agreement on the working hours of Parisian bus and tram drivers did not succeed. The unions refused to sign the RATP management’s proposal of April 4, which consisted of an increase in working time of 120 hours per year including the elimination of 6 days of RTT, in exchange for a salary increase of 2 600 euros gross per year. Thus, from July 1, the management of the RATP will take unilateral measures: “20 overtime hours per year against a gross increase of 420 euros”, details Le Parisien.
