The employee representatives intend to obtain a “general increase”. “We do not want a bonus policy, but a real increase in our income to cope with the galloping inflation, which we all suffer, insists Thomas Clavel, general secretary of the CFDT Cheminots. This strike, the day of the negotiations, is significant of the expectation and of the social emergency. “The unions do not exclude other movements this summerLast week, the CEO of the SNCF, Jean-Pierre Farandou, still hoped at the microphone of France Inter to be able to “limit the scope of the strike”, by conducting negotiations within of the company. A “conciliation meeting”, with the unions, did take place this Friday, but it did not lead to a lifting of notice. “We did not obtain satisfaction, we confirm to the ‘Unsa Railway. The management did not make any satisfactory proposal. “We hope this time that she will become aware of the expectations of employees”, slips Thomas Clavel, who “does not exclude” other social movements, in particular during weekends of great departures on vacation, if the “claims are not heard”.
