This Thursday, November 10, 2022, the RATP unions called to join the fourth day of general and interprofessional strike initiated by the CGT. The main demand is still the general increase in wages, but also to protest against 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 its press release. 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 trade unions will carry and lead with determination, in connection with the driving agents.”
The strike notice at the RATP was filed from Wednesday November 9, 2022 at 10 p.m. to Friday November 11 at 7 a.m. The press release can be viewed below:
