The skippers - the official name of the controllers - have in fact come together, for several weeks, within a collective, outside of any trade union framework, called "
collective national ASCT
" (CNA) to demand measures to improve their career development and salary increases.
In support, the three main SNCF unions (CFDT Cheminots, Unsa Ferroviaire and Sud Rail) had submitted, at the end of October, a notice for the periods from December 23 to 26 and from December 30 to January 2, 2023.
In response, SNCF Voyageurs had made several proposals at the end of a round table on December 8, in order to appease their anger.
It proposed to increase the work bonus for controllers by 600 euros per year, part of which would be integrated into the salary in 2024, as well as an additional allowance of 600 euros gross per year.
Negotiations do not seem to be over.
A controllers' strike on the first weekend of December led the SNCF to cancel 60% of its TGV and Intercités trains.
Nearly half of the 9,000 captains then went on strike.
