SNCF Faces Potential Disruptions as Six-Week Strike Notice Filed

The SUD-Rail union has issued a strike notice from April 17 to June 2, citing grievances over pay and working conditions, but no formal strike has been called yet.

SUD-Rail has filed a six-week strike notice targeting weekends during spring vacations and May holidays, though no official strike has been declared.
The union is demanding a €100 monthly bonus increase and better adherence to collective work schedules, citing frequent last-minute changes caused by new scheduling software.
The Collective National des ASCT (CNA), which previously led a major strike in December 2022, supports the action and seeks improved salary progression mechanisms.
SNCF management has stated that dialogue with unions is ongoing and emphasized that not all strike notices lead to service disruptions.
French Labor Minister Catherine Vautrin has urged unions to act responsibly, warning against disruptions to public travel during critical vacation periods.
