Excessive crowds on "metro line 13" or "RER B"
The union "will support any RATP employee who has used his right of withdrawal because he feels in danger," he added in a press release. "It is up to our leaders to create the conditions so that this right is not used," he warns. Monday, "the first hour of the morning peak period was complicated with excessive crowding, especially on the north / northwest part of our networks", for example line 13 of the metro, RER B and tram T1, specifies the Unsa-RATP. "These are already the areas that have been the problem during containment," she said.

Employers Must "Spread Their Employees' Start Times"
For the Unsa-RATP, the employers of the employees who use these congested portions of the networks of the management "must 'play the game' and work to spread the start times of the day for their employees". "We appeal to the region" Île-de-France and "to the State to remind these employers of their responsibilities", because "without staggering arrivals at work", they put their "employees in danger", warns the union .

The management of the RATP had for its part noted "no major incident" on Monday morning, with "overall compliance with the instructions".
