SNCF strike few disruptions this Wednesday and after

SNCF. This Wednesday, December 7, 2022, the mobilization of SNCF agents was only monitored locally on the TER, TGV and Intercités. However, new strike notices have already been filed for the three weekends of the school holidays!

[Mis à jour le 7 décembre 2022 à 16h48] This Wednesday, December 7, the CGT, SUD-Rail and CFDT unions called for a “unitary strike” in order to “put pressure on the management” of the SNCF on this crucial day of the mandatory annual negotiations for wages. However, the mobilization of this Wednesday does not cause major disturbances at the national level.

The disturbances are localized, in particular on the side of the TER of many regions of France: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Grand Est, Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur. Some TGVs and Intercités are cancelled, namely the TGVs on the Paris-Lyon axis, the TGVs south of Bordeaux, as well as the Paris-Clermont and Lyon-Nantes Intercités. In Île-de-France, lines C and D of the RER and N and R of the Transilien are disrupted.

If the controllers and the unions fail to win their case, new strikes could hit the French rail transport network during the Christmas holidays (see dates below), a period when many French people take the train. Indeed, if the strike movement last weekend did not start from the SNCF unions, but from a collective of controllers, four unions have since lent their support to the movement.

After the controllers, the signalmen also filed a strike notice, for the period from Thursday December 15 to Monday December 19, 2022, which falls on the first weekend of the Christmas school holidays. They suffer from too low a salary and chronic understaffing. There too, they will be received this Friday by the management.

TGV and Intercités users have received an email or an SMS informing them if their train is canceled or maintained. With regard to the other lines, find the details of the disruptions below:

The strike notice of December 7, 2022 communicated by SOUTH-Rail covers the period from December 6 at 8 p.m. to December 8 at 8 a.m.

Four unions, Unsa, SUD-Rail, CFDT and FO locally, have filed strike notices for weekends from Friday December 23 to Monday December 26, 2022 and Friday, December 30, 2022 to Monday, January 2, 2023, in order to put pressure in the context of negotiations with the SNCF. Saturday, December 3, the Minister of Transport Clément Beaune nevertheless wanted to put this scenario of paralysis of transport for the end of year celebrations into perspective. “I can’t bring myself to have things written down,” he said, calling for “collective responsibility”, according to comments reported by BFM TV. “The week is decisive”, announced the national secretary at the CFDT-railway workers Sabine Le Toquin. “We will know if Christmas is in danger or not. The ball is in the company’s court”.
