Like in 2019?

The important strike movement of the transport unions against the pension reform had blocked the country for two months.

Against Emmanuel Macron's new five-year bill, history could repeat itself.

The unions of large transport companies such as the SNCF or the RATP indeed expressed their determination on Wednesday to oppose the pension reform and called for “a powerful strike” on Thursday January 19.

At the SNCF, the message of the inter-union made up of the CGT, Unsa, SUD and the CFDT is clear: "total opposition to the decline in the legal retirement age to 64 accompanied by an increase in contribution period.

The four organizations “are ready to launch the necessary battle” and call in a press release “for a powerful strike” in the rail industry on January 19, the first date chosen for a major interprofessional demonstration.

“Division and inaction have no place”, insisted the four railway federations which call on the management of the SNCF not to “be the relay of this counter-reform”.

At the RATP, where 40,000 employees are subject to a special pension plan that the government intends to reform, the unions CGT, FO, Unsa and CFE-CGC have made it known that they were "ready" to oppose it.

"Massive response"

The reform project would shift the legal retirement age by two years, including for employees with RATP status who can take early retirement.

The modification of the contribution period would also concern them, denounces the inter-union.

New entrants would be affiliated to the general scheme.

“For new hires, it's not taking into account the arduous nature of their activity.

This is unacceptable !

», Are indignant the unions.



Other federations are also calling for mobilization.

FO-Transports and Logistics, which brings together truck drivers as well as ambulance drivers, coach drivers and fund carriers, wants to go "as far as possible in this fight".

The federation wishes to launch an “unlimited” movement from January 19 to prepare “the massive and harsh response”.
