The union indicates that it will consult the rank and file to develop “the strategic consequences” of the movement.
“If negotiations are not opened quickly enough, mobilization will increase at SNCF in the category of controllers, but it could also expand”warns Sunday February 18 on franceinfo Julien Troccaz, federal secretary of the Sud Rail union.
The controllers’ strike during the holidays prevented 150,000 SNCF users from traveling. The SNCF unions filed the strike notice on January 31 and since “we have an SNCF management which has still not opened negotiations”he stressed.
Sud Rail will consult the base to develop “strategic suites” movement. “When employees have just lost days of salary and we have just looked down on them for 3 to 4 days by making them seem privileged, what they want is to win their demands, they want to be heard “he explained.
A risk of strike during the Olympic Games
The controllers are calling in particular for the doubling of the work bonus to reach 500 euros. “We told the company management from 150 to 200 euros, we are ready to possibly lift the notice. We were in a search for consensus”he assured.
The threat to the Olympic Games could well become clearer. Especially since Sud Rail is not very reassuring: “Indeed, there are events that make the balance of power more important for us and that employees gain from it”he stressed.
