SNCF STRIKE. From this Thursday, January 26, 2023, we will undoubtedly have to expect further disruptions on SNCF trains. The CGT-Cheminots wishes to continue the mobilization against the pension reform “in the long term”.
[Mis à jour le 24 janvier 2023 à 13h10] The CGT-Cheminots filed a new strike notice against the pension reform via a communicated. It covers the period from Wednesday January 25, 2023 at 7 p.m. to Thursday February 2, 2023 at 8 a.m.“. “It is clear that we do not meet only to mark January 31” had indeed affirmed the general secretary of the CGT-Cheminots Laurent Brun on BFMTV the day after the strike of January 19. Do we have to expect the next black days on the French rail Thursday, January 19 caused many trains canceled throughout the territory, with 1 TER out of 10 on average, many TGV canceled and zero Intercités!
All the questions now relate to the traffic forecasts that the SNCF management should deliver to us this evening, given that the strikers are obliged to declare themselves 48 hours before the start of the movement. Disturbances will be relayed here at the first hour!
Are we heading towards an indefinite strike at the SNCF?
While the mobilization of January 19 against the pension reform mobilized 46.3% of strikers within the SNCF, the unions intend to extend the movement. Guest of Dej’Info this Monday on BFMTV, SUD-Rail union representative Fabien Villedieu even spoke of a “renewable strike” at the SNCF, and perhaps during the February holidays. “The question of the renewable strike is on the table. I don’t know from when (…) but what is certain is that at some point we will go on renewable strike”, announced Fabien Villedieu.
