Despite the call for "a dead day", traffic will be little disrupted in Parisian transport this Monday. Five unions have indeed called for a strike in transport, including four to the RATP.

According to the company's forecasts, traffic will even be normal on the sections of the RER dependent on it (lines A and B) as well as on the bus and tram networks. On the metro side, traffic will be almost normal on most lines, but disruption will be expected on lines 2, 5 and 12, which will run despite everything, specifies the RATP.

Start of the examination of the reform project

The trade unions have chosen the symbolic date of Monday, February 17, the day when the deputies' examination of the pension reform bill begins in session. "A dead day in transport with the SNCF-RATP call unit makes sense to remind this government that it is always" No! " to the plan for a points-based pension system, "said in a press release the railroad workers' union, which" will also be involved in the interprofessional appeal day of February 20, "explained Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Monday. general secretary of FO-Cheminots, fifth union at SNCF, Philippe Herbeck.

The movement was launched by the traction pole of the Unsa-RATP on Thursday 6 February, joined the next day by the SUD, FO and Solidaires unions but not by the CGT-RATP, the second union organization within the management. The latter estimated that February 17 "symbolic date in the parliamentary agenda, is not conducive to the widening of struggles and strikes in other sectors of the country". It therefore prefers to strike on February 20, the date of the next national inter-professional day of strikes and demonstrations set by the inter-union at national level (CGT, FO, Solidaires and youth organizations).
