Schools, trains, fuels… the disruptions to be expected this Tuesday, sector by sector

by time news

Tenth day of mobilization against the pension reform, with an inter-union still there. “While the executive seeks to turn the page, this sustainable and responsible social and trade union movement confirms the determination of the world of work and youth to obtain the withdrawal of the reform”, insisted this grouping of the eight majority professional unions and five high school student unions in its statement of call for mobilization published Thursday.

Many disturbances are therefore to be expected everywhere in France, in particular in the National Education and the transport sector, with an executive who does not seem inclined to go back on his text. Le Parisien takes stock sector by sector.

Transports

On the program for this new day of mobilization, “disturbed” traffic announces the RATP, with normal traffic on six lines. The rest of the lines must operate mainly at peak times or at reduced hourly amplitude, with a reduction in frequency. On the RER A and B side, plan one train out of two, with interconnections maintained at Nanterre Préfecture and Gare du Nord.

At the SNCF, it will be necessary to deal with “highly disturbed” traffic, as part of the renewable movement started on March 7. Already this Monday, only 4 TGV and Ouigo out of 5 were in circulation, as well as 2 TER and Intercités out of 3. Details are expected at the end of the day to know the forecast for this Tuesday.

Aviation

In airports, several strike notices have been filed. As a result, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has asked airlines “to reduce their flight schedule by 20% at Paris-Orly, Marseille-Provence, Toulouse and Bordeaux airports”.

“Despite these measures, disruptions and delays are nevertheless to be expected,” said the DGAC, inviting passengers who can to postpone their trip. A similar reduction in traffic is expected on Wednesday.

Education

The Snuipp-FSU, the majority union in primary education also called for a new mobilization. During the last day of the strike, Thursday, the union claimed to have “40 to 50% of teachers” mobilized, 23.22% according to the ministry.

Same story in secondary education: “The movement is not running out of steam, far from it”, assured Sophie Vénétitay, national secretary of Snes-FSU, while the union claimed Thursday “50% of strikers” within staff (teachers, CPE, supervisors) and closed establishments.

Garbage men

If the three incineration plants that manage Parisian waste saw the movement lifted on Friday, the garbage collectors of the City of Paris for their part have not stopped the dispute.

Since March 6, they have renewed the movement and were joined this Sunday by employees of the company Derichebourg Polyreva, at the call of the CGT. This company is responsible for collecting waste in the 10th and 18th arrondissements of Paris, which should therefore in turn be affected by an accumulation of garbage.

Fuels

The situation in service stations is also being scrutinized since several departments are facing shortages, due to the continuation of the strike movement in several refineries.

In the lead: Loire-Atlantique, with 59.3% of stations partially or completely out of gasoline and diesel. Mayenne (56.4%) and Bouches-du-Rhône (50%) follow. In total, 27 departments have more than 30% of their resorts in difficulty, mainly in the west of the country and around the Mediterranean.

In parallel with these disturbances, rallies and demonstrations are planned everywhere in France. The unions hope to hit hard again, after renewed mobilization last Thursday: between 1.09 million (Ministry of the Interior) and 3.5 million (CGT) people had participated in the movement.

A total of 5,000 members of the security forces had been mobilized in the capital. The prefect of police of Paris Laurent Nuñez expects “a demonstration still difficult to manage”, but argued that a “very strong and solid device” would be put in place to supervise the movement.
