STRIKE RATP. FO-RATP has filed a strike notice for the duration of the Rugby World Cup from September 8 to October 28, 2023. What we know.
[Mis à jour le 29 août 2023 à 10h55] The RATP Force Ouvrière union threatens to lead a social movement in Parisian transport, from September 8 to October 28, 2023, i.e. during the entire competition. Filed in June, it is currently maintained by the organization. Therefore, should we expect difficulties in getting around the capital, especially to the Stade de France in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) during these weeks?
Advance notice to get bonuses
Not so fast. This strike notice filed by FO for the duration of the Rugby World Cup does not provide for work stoppages for metro or RER drivers. No line will see its circulation be disrupted. The threat brandished by the union does not concern these sectors but the Multimodal Services and Spaces (SEM) department of the Ile-de-France region. The latter’s employees fear, according to Le Figaro, “having to deal with a significant work overload”.
The threat of a strike is brandished so that the employees present at the counters in the stations benefit from the same bonuses as those which will be granted to metro and RER drivers during the competition. If bonuses are planned for agents present at Concorde (Fan Zone) and at the Stade de France, nothing, according to FO, will be granted to other employees working in the same sector. At this stage, the management of the RATP refuses to extend the bonuses but ensures that discussions will continue.
