STRIKE RATP. The RATP inter-union called for a “renewable strike from March 7”, joining the interprofessional strike against the pension reform which plans to “bring France to a halt”.
[Mis à jour le 20 février 2023 à 16h41] The inter-union of the RATP (CGT, FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC, UNSA) called for a renewable strike against the pension reform from Tuesday March 7 “in order to weigh even harder and win the withdrawal of this bill”, claim- they in a communicated. “Convinced of the harmfulness for the workers of the current bill on the future of our pensions, if the government still does not hear the determination of the workers, the youth and all those who support this unitary movement to express their anger at this new injustice, he will have to assume the blocking of the economy in our country”. The strike could be renewed on Wednesday March 8 and the following days.
We do not know for the moment how this call will translate in terms of disruptions at the RATP, even if the blockages are likely to be very important. This mobilization inevitably reminds us of the strike which paralyzed French rail for two months in 2019, during the first mobilization against the pension reform which had been aborted due to the Covid-19 health crisis. In addition, the social movement could be easily renewed at the RATP thanks to an “unlimited duration” strike notice filed in December 2019 by the RATP unions, as mentioned TF1 News.
