“Traffic will be normal”
They are also demanding increases, recruitment and improvement in their working conditions. However, SNCF wants to reassure and confirm the importance of the next movement, this Tuesday “At this stage, traffic will be normal for the next week”, without being able to provide further details at this time. Sud-Rail Union which issued the notice did not respond to our requests.
“This notice follows our request for immediate consultation filed on January 19 which gave rise to the consultation meeting held on January 22…”Announced in a press release on Sunday, Sud-Rail addresses the management of the SNCF Réseau. “It turns out that we have been unable to reach agreement on the various topics we have warned you about.”. The demand for switchers is essentially the same as for controllers: “Increase of operational traffic compensation by 300 euros per month”, “implementation of mass recruitment” or even “implementation of less pathogenic shifts”.
on social networks “There are still no negotiations from the perspective of the SNCF Réseau. In the next few hours, we must increase the balance of power.”
