The railway unions have announced that they are calling for an indefinite strike from December 11 against the dismantling of Fret SNCF. Fret SNCF will disappear on January 1 to be reborn in the form of two separate companies called Hexafret for freight transport and Technis for locomotive maintenance, management announced on Monday.
In a joint press release sent to AFP, the CGT-Cheminots, Unsa-Ferroviaire, Sud-Rail and the CFDT-Cheminots explain that faced with the lack of “inflection” from the group’s management, the strike will be unlimited and renewable for 24-hour periods starting Wednesday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m.
The unions also reiterate their call for a strike from Wednesday, November 20, 7:00 p.m. to Friday, November 22, 8:00 a.m.
The railway organizations hope to mobilize widely in all SNCF entities and exceed the fairly low rates of strikers observed during the pension reform, for example.
