The CGT, Solidaires and the FSU are calling for a day of strikes and demonstrations on Thursday.

If the reasons for dissatisfaction are numerous and varied depending on the sector, with the wage issue as a backdrop, the mobilization promises to be mixed.

Transport

Traffic on the RATP network, in Ile-de-France, will be disrupted in buses, trams and on the RER B, due to an interprofessional strike for wages and pensions.

If nothing has been signed for RER A with “normal” traffic, RER B will be disrupted with 3 out of 4 trains on average in circulation.

The interconnection will however be maintained with the SNCF part of the line (in the north).

For the buses, it will be necessary to count on 2 buses out of 3, “with certain lines very disturbed”, adds the management.

Night buses will run normally.

On the tram side, the public company has an average of 9 out of 10 trams.

However, line T3a is an exception: it will only be operated between Pont du Garigliano and Porte d'Ivry with only 1 out of 2 trams.

Finally, if the interprofessional strike days generally mobilize quite little at the SNCF, this time, "it looks better than usual", according to Fabien Dumas, federal secretary SUD-Rail.

Only one in two trains will run on average on Intercity routes, with some of them completely interrupted, such as between Lyon and Nantes or Toulouse and Hendaye.

Same thing for the night Intercités which will not circulate.

Regarding regional TER traffic, the SNCF announces that it is able to run six out of ten trains on average with disparities depending on the region.

Education

Participation in the day of strikes and demonstrations promises to be quite high in the primary, according to the Snuipp-FSU, the first union of the first degree.

Nearly 20% will be on strike, with a strong disparity: 40% in Paris with 10% of schools closed, 48% in Seine-Saint-Denis.

In the Bouches-du-Rhône, 300 schools will be closed.

"There are places where teachers are ready to mobilize strongly and others where things are not moving much," observes general secretary Guislaine David.

“There is a real fed up of teachers on salaries (…) If there is in parallel the question of pensions, this is likely to make sparks”, she predicts.

While the education sector is suffering from an unprecedented crisis in the recruitment of teachers, the lack of teachers is beginning to be felt in certain establishments, fueling the anger of staff and parents.

Energy

The employees of TotalEnergies started a strike of at least three days on Tuesday to demand in particular an increase in their wages, at the call of the CGT, in a context where the company has reaped enormous profits, taking full advantage of rising oil and gas prices.

The representatives of the employees of the electricity and gas industries have been in negotiations for many months with the representatives of the employers, in order to obtain an increase in the national basic salary of the branch equivalent to inflation.

The employers granted them an increase well beyond that, to 1.3%.

Central CGT union delegate at GRDF, Sébastien Raya is counting on a strong mobilization of energy employees and in particular gas, because in certain companies, such as Storengy (Engie's storage branch), employees who have been on strike for nearly a month last summer “earned a minimum 5% increase”, just like their colleagues at Elengy (LNG terminals).
