SNCF STRIKE. If for the time being, we are not yet talking about an indefinite strike, while the very first day of mobilization against the pension reform takes place this Thursday, January 19, the concept is already in everyone’s mind.
[Mis à jour le 19 janvier 2023 à 9h27] For the very first day of strike against the pension reform project recently unveiled by the government, the management of the SNCF reports a black day on the French rail. All trains (short, medium or long distance) managed by the SNCF are extremely disrupted (see disruptions). Are we about to relive December 2019? Remember, the SNCF and the RATP had, at the time, launched an indefinite strike against… the pension reform. “We will decide according to the extent of the mobilization,” warned Didier Mathis of Unsa-Ferroviaire on BFMTV, while for the time being, the strike notice runs until Friday January 20 at 8 a.m.
If an indefinite strike does not yet seem to be on the agenda, some unions have warned that a renewal could be considered at the end of this first day of strike on January 19. guest on Public Senate this Thursday morning, the leader of the CGT Philippe Martinez announced that this is only the “first day of strike, there will be others”. As for François Hommeril, the boss of the CFE-CGC, he assured the microphone of RTLalso this Thursday morning, that the mobilization of January 19 “is only the beginning”.
