Demands on opening up to competition
This call to strike relays demands that may vary depending on the line, but their common point, "
is the opening up to competition
" and the reorganizations already made in view of future calls for tenders, according to Fabien Dumas, secretary Federal of SUD-Rail. "
Nothing is done to reassure us, there is no guarantee for the railway workers,

The unions of the different lines have decided "
to
strike
all on the same day
" to hamper the replacement of strikers by other drivers, explained Fabien Villedieu of SUD-Rail. "
Even if there are very local demands
", which can change "
depending on the deposits, behind all that
", there is "
the opening to competition
", he added.
