The SNCF unions voted unanimously for a renewable strike against the pension reform. The forceful passage of the government with the use of article 49.3 to have the pension reform adopted prompted the SUD-Rail, CGT and UNSA unions to propose to SNCF agents to renew the movement at least until Monday.. As for the inter-union of the SNCF, it will meet this afternoon to decide on the continuation of the movement.
