SNCF strike: towards an indefinite strike in February?

SNCF strike towards an indefinite strike in February

SNCF STRIKE. After the strike dates of February 7 and 8, the CGT-Cheminots and SUD-Rail have already called for the renewal of the movement against the pension reform “from mid-February”.

[Mis à jour le 2 février 2023 à 16h26] After two well-attended mobilizations against the pension reform, the CGT-Cheminots and SUD-Rail called on SNCF agents to stop work on Tuesday February 7 and Wednesday February 8, 2023, before a renewable notice “from mid-February” , during the school holidays. With a government that does not seem ready to back down, are we about to relive December 2019? Remember, the SNCF and the RATP had, at the time, launched an indefinite strike against this same pension reform which had been aborted due to the Covid.

Saturday February 11, which will be the fourth day of national and interprofessional mobilization, could mark the start of a renewable strike at the SNCF, even if the question is still pending for the railway workers. Indeed, the CGT has already warned that if the mobilization did not weaken, it would propose a renewable strike per period of 24 hours from mid-February. As for SUD-Rail, its federal secretary Erik Meyer remains “convinced” that a renewable strike “will make this government bend”. An opinion which is not currently shared by the Unsa Ferroviaire and CFDT-Cheminots unions.
