Overview

  • SUD-Rail has called for a strike by train conductors on May 7 and TGV controllers from May 9 to 11, citing demands for better pay and improved working conditions.
  • The Collectif national ASCT (CNA), an informal but influential group of controllers, announced its support for the May 9-11 strike, amplifying its potential impact.
  • Union grievances include a €100 monthly increase in work premiums for TGV controllers and better planning to address last-minute schedule changes.
  • SNCF management has expressed confidence in maintaining train operations during the strikes, highlighting progress in social dialogue and the risks of disruption amid market competition.
  • The strikes coincide with SNCF's leadership transition, as CEO Jean-Pierre Farandou is set to step down in May, adding further uncertainty to the situation.
