“The RN divides the population and workers”

For the co-secretary of the union, the government that the RN wants to put in place is ” ungovernable, because the RN divides the population and workers “. However, the two other unions in the Ile-de-France transport network (FO-Groupe RATP and UNSA Groupe RATP) have not spoken out in the context of these anticipated legislative elections.
