Railway workers on strike for higher wages
The four trade union organizations of the SNCF, namely CGT, CFDT, Sud Rail and Unsa asked to meet with management in early July to negotiate a pay rise. “Railway workers, like all employees, are faced with growing inflation”explains the secretary general of the CGT railway workers of Brittany, Emmanuel Briand. “Management refuses discussions”, he says. She refused their request for immediate consultation on June 16.
Gold “It’s urgent” according to the unions to maintain their purchasing power, “This strike is not to annoy userscontinues Emmanuel Briand. It is the management, which by refusing any negotiation, penalizes the travelers.” Railway workers deplore the absence of a general increase since 2014.
A round table with management is scheduled for today. The unions hope that this strike movement will weigh in the negotiations.
