SNCF STRIKE. This Friday, June 24, the Transiliens and RER encounter disruptions following a local movement. Wednesday, July 6, the eve of the summer holidays, a national strike was announced to demand a salary increase. What we know.
[Mis à jour le 24 juin 2022 à 16h27] No respite for public transport users. While a local SNCF and RATP strike is disrupting train traffic in the Paris suburbs today, the day of the Top 14 rugby final at the Stade de France, the CGT-Cheminots, SUD-Rail and CFDT have just announced that SNCF railway workers will go on strike on July 6 to demand a wage increase. “The post-pandemic and geostrategic context, with the war in Ukraine, is causing a price spike unmatched for 40 years,” they explained in a joint statement.
If it is too early to give you detailed traffic forecasts, except that this July 6 strike is planned concretely from July 5 from 7 p.m. until July 7 at 8 a.m., this mobilization could have a big impact on the first departures of the big School vacation which officially start the next evening!
This Friday, lines A, C and D of the RER and lines H, J, L and R of the Transilien are disrupted, with an average of 1 train out of 2 at peak times and 1 train out of 3 at off-peak hours. In addition, train traffic to and from Paris-Saint-Lazare is also disrupted on the Norman lines (consult the timetables). The management of the SNCF invites travelers to “postpone their journey as far as possible and to favor teleworking”. Do not panic for the supporters, the RER B, which serves the Stade de France, is spared. Also, the RATP has reinforced lines 12 and 13 of the metro to get to the Stade de France. Consult the traffic forecasts below, or using the summary opposite:
A local social movement impacts almost all of the RER lines in Paris, with the exception of the RER B, and causes disruptions on the Transilien lines. Here is the detailed forecast line by line:

With only one RER per hour scheduled during the day, Cergy and Poissy are cut off from the rest of Ile de France, especially since not all the announced trains are running. #freeze pic.twitter.com/9y8gPQcf4H— More Trains (@Moretrains) June 24, 2022

The SUD-Rail, CGT, Unsa, CFDT and FO unions have called on the Ile-de-France SNCF and RATP drivers to strike this Friday, June 24, 2022 to protest against the untimely schedule changes, linked to numerous works on the lines. , but also to demand a rise in wages. “Our trade unions are calling for continued mobilization with the next step being the Top 14 rugby final on Friday June 24 at the Stade de France,” they announced in a joint press release. “A strike is a balance of power, so you don’t do it on Sunday evening or in the night from Sunday to Monday”, explained this Friday morning a Sud Rail union representative to RTL.
The CGT-Cheminots, SUD-Rail and CFDT unions are on strike on Wednesday July 6 to demand “measures to catch up with wages for inflation”, but also “a general increase in wages and the revaluation of bonuses” or even “a revaluation of all allowances, gratuities and indemnities”. On June 16, they would have already made a “request for immediate consultation” on the revaluation of wages with the president of the SNCF Jean-Pierre Farandou but “the management refused to receive the trade union organizations”, explains the press release. Bilateral meetings are ongoing.
