SNCF controllers are threatening to strike on February 16, 17 and 18, a school holiday weekend in a large part of the country, to demand salary increases and better consideration of their end of career.
After the Christmas 2022 strike, which forced the SNCF to cancel numerous TGVs and left around 200,000 travelers in the lurch, controllers mobilized via a Facebook group called Collectif national ASCT (CNA) are once again threatening to go on strike, as revealed The world Friday.
This collective, formed outside of any union framework, is not authorized to submit notice and must therefore rely on the unions to make its demands. A notice was therefore filed by Sud-Rail from February 15, 8 p.m. to February 19, 8 a.m., in the middle of the weekend of vacation departures for the academies of Besançon, Dijon, Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lyon, Limoges and Poitiers. This weekend is also in the middle of the school holidays of the academies of Île-de-France, as well as Montpellier and Toulouse.
The measures promised at the end of 2022 are struggling to materialize
The controllers believe that certain measures promised during the resolution of the conflict at the end of 2022 are slow to materialize, such as the mandatory presence of two controllers per TGV. They are also demanding an increase in their work bonus to the tune of 500 euros more per month. They finally ask for “recognition of the arduousness of the profession with the renegotiation of the agreement on the gradual cessation of activity”, which makes it possible to manage the end of one’s career, according to Fabien Villedieu of Sud-Rail.
This union is the only one so far to have filed notice and officially supported the strike. The CFDT-Cheminots, in a leaflet distributed on Wednesday, denounced the non-application of the measures resulting from the crisis exit agreement signed at the end of 2022. This union does not officially support the strike, but it called on its local branches to file requests for immediate consultation (DCI), prior to strike notice.
