SNCF Unions Call for Nationwide Strike on November 21

The strike serves as an ultimatum against privatization and restructuring plans, with further actions threatened in December.

The strike is a unified effort by all major SNCF unions, including CGT-Cheminots, Unsa-Ferroviaire, Sud-Rail, and CFDT-Cheminots.
Unions are protesting the planned dismantling of Fret SNCF and the privatization of TER, Transilien, and Intercités services.
They demand a halt to the restructuring processes and a new law for modernizing the railway system.
Unions warn that if their demands are not met, a more extensive strike could occur in December.
The strike is also a response to perceived government illegitimacy and aims to influence transportation policy decisions.
