The SNCF strike, which begins this Wednesday, December 11, at 7 p.m., will cause disruptions in the coming hours. Thursday will be busy on a social level with a mobilization in front of Solvay in Salindres.
Political instability, after the motion of censure and the resignation of the Barnier government, added a little more social anger at the end of the year. In Gard, this Thursday, December 12, at 3 p.m., it will materialize with a rally in front of the Solvay factory in Salindres which is closing with 68 job cuts. Buses will leave from Nîmes, Pont Saint-Esprit and Bagnols-sur-Cèze at the initiative of the CGT.
The union will take advantage of this day to make its demands heard: a plan for the reindustrialization of the territories with the transport of raw materials and production by train, a demand towards companies which have received public aid and the return to the obligation of administrative request for dismissals. The CGT recalls that fewer industrial jobs also mean losses in public services and services.
