On March 16, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne once again used article 49.3 of the Constitution to force through the pension reform bill. In the aftermath of this announcement and following the rejection of the motion of censure, the mobilizations continue in France. This Tuesday, March 28, 2023 was thus marked by a new day of strike in several areas.
If the garbage collectors have announced that they will continue the strike and suspend the collection of garbage cans, many service stations are also running out of fuel, the people in charge of ensuring delivery having decided to limit their passages. The train drivers of the SNCF are also still on strike, only 60% of the TGV InOui and Ouigo, only a quarter of the Intercités trains and only half of the TER were able to circulate this Tuesday, as the company explained in a communicated.

Jean-Pascal Lacoste tackles train drivers
If train drivers can count on the support of millions of citizens, a famous columnist for “Touche pas à mon poste” has just ranted about their demands. On Instagram, Jean-Pascal Lacoste indeed spoke after discovering the average retirement age of train drivers.
The father of the family has indeed published an activity report of the SNCF stipulating that: “train drivers can retire from the age of 50 (for people born before 1962) up to 52 years (for people born after 1967) but the average starting age is 54 years and 1 month”.
Enough to make the former Star Academy candidate mad with rage: “If not, I haven’t seen painters, masons, etc. retiring. It’s not normal! I didn’t know that to press on two or three joysticks was a difficult job,” he lamented.
This is not the first time that Jean-Pascal Lacoste has tackled train drivers because in February 2022, he had already made fun of him by sharing a sketch by comedian Franjo Reno who declared: “It’s true that they earn a lot of money for people who pretend to drive, we’re not going to lie to each other…”.
