Limited threat of a strike at the SNCF


Cutomer the power station should push a phew of relief. The threat of a strike at the SNCF important from Sunday evening away. On Friday, in fact, the CGT (and the CFTC) announced it was suspending its notice after discussions with management. Only Sud Rail maintenance. Only one union on the five that comprised the original Inter.

Taken by surprise, the FO federation of railway, which had joined the notice filed by the CGT, its members meet Monday morning "to point", referring to the "complexity of the situation" linked to divisions union.

The management of SNCF has done everything to avoid this week several strikes aimed to protest against his proposed reorganization of cargo with longer working hours and changing systems of rest. Under pressure, it withdrew the project by emptying a portion of its ad hoc decree, published Wednesday in the Official Journal (OJ) even if it maintains the principle of the call to volunteer. A gesture which had already triggered the withdrawal of strike notice two other railway unions, the CFDT and FGAAC (autonomy).
