The unions of large transport companies such as the SNCF or the RATP expressed their determination on Wednesday to oppose the pension reform.

The four organizations (CGT, Unsa, SUD and CFDT) "are ready to launch the necessary battle" and call in a press release "for a powerful strike" in the rail on January 19, the first date chosen for an interprofessional demonstration of scale.

“Division and inaction have no place”, insisted the four railway federations which call on the management of the SNCF not to “be the relay of this counter-reform”.

At RATP, where 40,000 employees are subject to a special pension plan that the government intends to reform, the CGT, FO, Unsa and CFE-CGC unions have indicated that they are "ready" to oppose it.

The reform project would shift the legal retirement age by two years, including for employees with RATP status who can take early retirement.

The modification of the contribution period would also concern them, denounces the inter-union.

The “grandfather” clause

The so-called “grandfather” clause certainly makes it possible not to affect the calculation of the pension for employees already in place affiliated to special schemes.

For the latter, it is the last six months of salary that are taken into account and not the best 25 years, as in the general scheme.

But new entrants would be affiliated to the general scheme.

“For new hires, it's not taking into account the arduous nature of their activity.

This is unacceptable !

», Are indignant the unions.

Other federations are also calling for mobilization.

FO-Transports and Logistics, which brings together truck drivers as well as ambulance drivers, coach drivers or fund carriers, wants to go “as far as possible in this fight”.

The federation wishes to launch an “unlimited” movement from January 19 to prepare “the massive and harsh response”.
