Worse still, according to her, it goes “the opposite of all the social progress that has been taking place in our country for years and which was won by the strike. » While the SNCF controllers’ strike is in full swing this weekend of holidaymakers, the right called this week for a reform to better regulate the right to strike, with some fearing in particular “blackmail of the unions with the executive” before the Olympics.
