SNCF controllers are threatening to strike during the weekend of February 16 to 18, during the school holiday period. If the boss of the SNCF has made new proposals, there is no question for the unions of lifting the strike notice.
Most TGVs are full for the winter holidays, but the threat of a controller strike looms over the weekend of February 16 to 18. At issue: an agreement signed in 2022 to end a strike in the middle of Christmas, with 200,000 travelers remaining at the dock. More than a year later, this agreement has not been respected according to the unions.
Among the demands, better remuneration
The unions are demanding better remuneration for controllers, recruitment and even consideration of the arduousness of their profession. To appease their anger, the boss of the SNCF made new proposals: 1,000 additional recruitments, including 200 controllers, and a bonus of 400 euros in March for all railway workers. But for some unions, the count is still not there, particularly regarding the number of controllers on board TGVs. There is therefore no question for the unions of lifting the strike notice for the moment.
