More fear than harm for Parisians.
The strike movement at the RATP for wages and against the opening to competition only slightly disrupted traffic this Friday morning, impacting as expected especially the circulation of buses and trams, indicates the RATP website.
At 8:30 a.m. this Friday, all the metros were operating normally, the site specifies, with the exception of line 8, where traffic was “disrupted due to operating difficulties” unrelated to the strike.
Traffic is also fluid on all the RERs.
150 bus lines cut
On the other hand, the circulation of the trams was very disturbed even very strongly disturbed: the T8 is completely closed and the other lines only display one train in two or three.
On the bus side, around 150 lines were completely cut on the network of the Paris agglomeration.
The RATP had warned on Wednesday that around 30% of the lines would be interrupted, while one in two buses would be in service on the rest of the network.
The disruptions, in line with what had been announced, are much less significant than during the first day of the strike on February 18, which saw almost all metro lines close or operate only during rush hour.
The strike movement, which initially focused on wages, came on top of another day of protest against adaptation to opening up to competition.
Negotiations on the basis of opening up to competition
The management is currently negotiating with the unions an agreement on the working hours of the 15,000 Parisian bus drivers and 1,000 tram drivers to integrate into the "territorial social framework" (CST), which will impose the same rules of organization and time. work to all companies from 1 January 2025, the end date of the RATP monopoly on the surface network.
This new agreement must enter into force on July 1 in order to allow the RATP to be in working order to win calls for tenders via its subsidiary CAP Ile-de-France on the twelve lots of the Paris bus market and of its inner suburbs.
For management, "the salary negotiations are over"
For now, management is proposing to extend working time by 40 minutes a day, the elimination of six days off per year, all offset by a salary increase of around 70 euros per month, according to the unions, who consider these conditions unsatisfactory.
The unions are also asking for the unfreezing of the value of the point (frozen since 2012) as civil servants will be entitled to it.
But the CEO of the public group Catherine Guillouard recalled it at the beginning of March: “For us, the salary negotiations are over”.
