More than a thousand taxi drivers demonstrated, Monday, November 25, 2024, in front of the headquarters of the National Health Insurance Fund (Cnam) in Paris to denounce the draft new agreement which should bind the two parties for the period 2025-2029 . Among them, around twenty professionals came from Morbihan and Finistère at the call of the FNAT (national federation of taxi artisans). “If this agreement is applied, our turnover will drop by more than a third. By 2025, 40% of taxis will be bankrupt” fears Samir Attieh, president of FNAT 56 and 29.

Beyond significantly reduced pricing, Samir Attieh denounces the conditions of patient transport provided for by the new agreement. “A taxi can transport up to eight people at the same time. This means that a person coming out of a chemotherapy or dialysis session will sometimes have to wait until the other patients have been dropped off before returning home. This is unacceptable! We refuse to become medical transport charters. »
Some taxi drivers from Morbihan and Finistère plan to stay in Paris until negotiations are successful. FNAT 56 and 29 announces that it will, if necessary, refer the matter to the administrative court “for risk of working below the break-even point”.
