Sud-Rail Announces New SNCF Strikes Targeting May Travel Periods

The union is demanding improved pay and working conditions as it escalates its dispute with SNCF management over restructuring and labor rights.

Sud-Rail has called for strikes on May 7 and May 9-11, 2025, coinciding with peak travel periods around public holidays.
The union is demanding a €100 monthly increase in the work bonus for controllers and restructuring of the traction bonus for conductors.
Sud-Rail accuses SNCF management of rejecting their demands and escalating tensions, despite ongoing labor unrest.
SNCF management states it has not yet received formal strike notices for the newly announced dates but emphasizes its commitment to dialogue.
The strikes follow earlier disruptions, including Sud-Rail's ongoing strike notice from April 17 to June 2, which covers spring holidays and public holidays.
