The feeling of injustice that this generates is profound and not a day goes by without the leaders hearing about it. Some of them also share this feeling, because they are not all in the same boat.
At the beginning of June, around fifteen station agents met and voted to circulate a petition to request additional staff and the payment of a daily bonus. Since then, this petition has been widely signed, including by drivers and site controllers, for whom the payment of this bonus is subject to conditions, or even by railway workers working in the offices. Railway workers from the stations of Tours, Saint-Pierre-des-Corps and Vierzon also took it up on their own.
In Orléans, Monday June 24, a few railway workers went to hand it over to management and took the opportunity to show their determination. Some do not intend to stop there and have decided to go on strike on Friday June 28, to show their anger and respond to what, in everyone’s opinion, reflects the contempt of management. This is warned: « No jthem without all the railway workers. »
