CGT-Cheminots calls June strikes at SNCF, with TGV and intercity trains expected to run normally

Drivers are seeking a revamp of their 'prime de traction' bonus, with Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot proposing a 72-hour notice requirement for strike declarations.

Si les perturbations doivent encore être précisées, ces premières annonces sont de nature à rassurer les voyageurs qui doivent prendre le train à ces dates.
«C’est bel et bien le droit de grève qui est piétiné par la direction en procédant ainsi. Sachez que Sud-Rail étudie la possibilité d’un recours en justice contre la SNCF sur les VAO», mettaient en garde le Collectif national ASCT et Sud-Rail, dans un tract publié le 19 mai.

  • SNCF Voyageurs projects normal traffic on TGV and Intercités services during the June 4–5 strikes, with only minor regional disruptions anticipated on TER and Transilien lines.
