SNCF Confirms 2025 Salary Agreement After Union Signatures

The deal includes a 2.2% average salary increase and other benefits, but union divisions persist as strike threats loom for December.

Two unions, UNSA Ferroviaire and CFDT-Cheminots, signed the SNCF's 2025 salary agreement, enabling its implementation.
The agreement provides an average 2.2% salary increase for 150,000 SNCF employees, with a real increase of 0.5% after accounting for previously planned adjustments.
Additional measures include ensuring no salaries fall below 1.1 times the minimum wage and a €400 value-sharing bonus for employees.
Major unions CGT-Cheminots and SUD-Rail oppose the deal, calling for stronger salary increases and threatening strikes starting December 11.
The SNCF emphasizes that the agreement is supported by six consecutive semesters of positive financial results and will not impact taxpayers or passengers.
