The meeting will take place under pressure. The CGT Cheminots filed, on Tuesday, a national strike notice for the day of May 31, the date of a “round table on wages” with the management of the SNCF group. A “review clause” after the mandatory annual negotiations (NAO) last December. “This is an important meeting, where we believe it is necessary to express our dissatisfaction very clearly,” says Thierry Nier, federal secretary of the CGT. The disruptions on the rails, Wednesday, May 31, should however remain limited.
The union alone calls on the employees to disengage. After surveying their members on Monday, the three other representative organizations (Unsa Ferroviaire, SUD Rail, CFDT Cheminots) refused to join the movement. They will simply call for a “gathering” on May 31, probably in front of the headquarters of the rail group in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis).
“We want a revaluation of at least 3% for everyone”
“We are already bloodless financially after the multiple days of strikes over the past four months against the pension reform, justifies Didier Mathis, federal secretary of Unsa. A new interprofessional mobilization date is already scheduled for June 6th, we can’t do everything! “We know that another day of strike is difficult, but everything must be done to obtain better remuneration for work”, Thierry Nier suggests.
The unions hope to obtain meaningful measures. In December, the management had granted a general increase – scalable according to the level of remuneration – of 2.7%, on average. With some bonuses. “We want a revaluation at least equal to 3%, for everyone, warns Thierry Nier. Inflation has not stopped, we want strong commitments to pay our rents and our shopping! The expectations of the railway workers are very high, the management must respond to them seriously. »
