M'Tag management responds to the unions this evening after this tense meeting which did not allow the right of withdrawal to be lifted: “We contest the notion of the right of withdrawal since we took measures on Tuesday morning after the events. We limited the two lines concerned (16 and C7) and we stopped the controls in this area then on the entire line. agglomeration. We disagree on the extent of the measures to be taken but in full agreement on the various types of violence that our agents suffer too regularly on the network. We reiterated that we do not recognize. this right of withdrawal therefore agents who wish to exercise it will not be covered or remunerated. It's a subject of tension. By doing this, they consider that we are not supporting the agents when we just consider that stopping the network is not justified“, explains the general director of M'Tag Michaël Guthmuller at the microphone of France Bleu Isère.
This Tuesday morning, a bus conductor was threatened with a gun by a man riding an electric bike in Echirolles. In the process, the agents exercised their right of withdrawal and no more trams or buses circulated this Tuesday in the metropolis.
