This Monday, July 11, from 4 a.m., an indefinite strike begins at the French Society of the Fréjus road tunnel (SFTRF), at the call of CFDT, CGT and FO unions. They are asking for a salary increase to meet the rising cost of living. “As a result of an exceptional level of inflation, wages are no longer in line with the cost of living“explain the unions.
Salary increase requested
For them, the proposal to increase the salaries of the director general is insufficient. “An extension of 0.8% on wages is too little, especially since traffic is increasing significantly and constantly”. “We are therefore calling for an increase in all wages, _by increasing the number of index points for each of the categories_“.
“Lethal risk to be taken into account”
“On the motorway, incivility permanently endangers personnel who work under traffic, as evidenced by the many tragic events that have occurred in our neighborhood.“say the unions.
“If the safety of employees cannot be bought, it deserves to be recognized” – CFDT, CGT, FO
They call for the establishment ofa work bonus under circulation allocated to personnel exposed to these risks.
