The new strike scheduled for Tuesday in the transport and national education sectors is forcing many French people to reorganize to go to work.

Europe 1 met several in Paris, who will have to deal in particular with very disrupted traffic in public transport.

A new day of hardship for users.

This Tuesday, train, metro and plane traffic will be severely disrupted due to a second strike call against the pension reform.

“It will be a difficult or even very difficult day in public transport”, declared Clément Beaune, the Minister of Transport, on Sunday, before the publication of the first forecasts.

So everywhere in France, as in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, the French must organize themselves to go to work.

And in this game, everyone has their solution.

For those who cannot telecommute, it will be necessary to change the route this Tuesday.

This is the case of Mohamed, a seller met by Europe 1 who lives in Villejuif, in Val-de-Marne.

"I'm going to take bus 19 like last time, and if the tram works, I'll take it to Balard (terminus). After that, I'm going to walk 15 minutes", he explains, knowing that the traffic of trams and buses should be less disrupted than other transport in Paris.

These employees who cannot telecommute

Despite this change of route, it will be difficult for Mohamed to be on time.

"It's going to be complicated for me because I start at 7 a.m. I'm going to be late for work," he concedes.

Two other saleswomen crossed by Europe 1, Clarisse and Stéphanie, will ask their relatives to take them to their workplace on Tuesday because they have no other choice.

"It's my parents who will pick me up by car," explains the first.

"The solution? My husband, who will take me and pick me up like during the last strike", adds the second, who underlines that the latter "will have to get up very early to take me, then he will return home to do his job, and finally come and pick me up".

Looking for a solution to keep her children

A use of the car which Ali, met a little further, is used to, every morning, to get to work.

But for him, the problem lies in the teachers' strike.

This father has still not found the solution to have his two children looked after.

"I will manage tomorrow (Tuesday), in front of the fait accompli", he admits, "so I may not go to work if the teachers are on strike."

Ali "understands the strike", believing that working until 64 "may not be a pleasure".

"However, it may be necessary, and therefore we will manage", blows the father of the family at the microphone of Europe 1, who may be able to benefit from a justified absence.

Absence from work justified but not paid

This is the case of Maxime, a 25-year-old salesman, who received permission from his superiors to stay at home.

"I'm not going to come to work. My boss is going to give me a justified absence since he knows that tomorrow (Tuesday) is the strike", says this user of the RER C. "It's justified that I don't can't come to work. Unfortunately, I won't be paid", regrets the young man.

Giving up a day's salary to choose peace of mind is a luxury, recognizes the seller, that not all users will be able to afford this Tuesday.
