“There is a desire, if the management does not give up, to see the struggle to the end” Fabian Villedieu, a representative of the Sud rail union, said on Franceinfo on Tuesday, February 13, while SNCF controllers are called to strike in the middle of the school holidays on the weekend of February 17-18, in Zone C and the beginning of Zone A. .
Fabien Villedieu plans a mobilization “very famous”But specifies that SNCF has “A very accurate view of the number of people who declared themselves strikers” And “Transportation Plan” Which will be published on Wednesday.
“Controllers feel cheated”
If the controllers go on strike next week, that is “Because they thought”, explains a Sud Rail representative. He believes there is “A contract that was not respected.” “Controllers feel cheated, humiliated. Especially on two counts.” It wakes up “Very Firm Commitment” From the management of SNCF “In terms of support, especially for the TGV, of the two controllers. This commitment was supposed to be firm from the year 2023. It was not respected”. But according to the unionist, management says, “Believe us, at the end of 2024, it will be respected.” Fabian Villedieu deplores the lack “will go” of the SNCF which has difficulty recruiting controllers because, “A job doesn’t make you a dream.”
Another point at which controllers “Feel Cheated”According to a Sud Rail representative, it is “The fact is that there was to be a negotiated agreement to phase out the activity as early as 2023”. “It’s 2024, it’s not over yet,” notes Fabian Villedieu. “Those who have commitments must honor their commitments.”
A Sud Rail representative again points to the question of purchasing power. “Controllers want increase in their work bonus because inflation is high.” “Controllers are trying to find an increase in their remuneration by increasing work bonus”, Fabien Villedieu adds.
