, the RATP indeed indicates that it does not expect any “

significant

” impact from the movement on “

all mobility

” of the management, whether metros, RER, buses or trams.

This February 11, the inter-union of the Ile-de-France region nevertheless called on all of the company's employees to strike, on the occasion of the fourth day of struggle against the pension reform.

In a press release issued at the beginning of the month, the CGT-RATP, FO-RATP, Unsa-RATP and CFE-CGC-RATP encouraged the workers to "

continue and amplify the mobilization through the strike and the demonstration on Tuesday 7 then on Saturday February 11

", as a sign of opposition to the reform.

But there will be "

no impact

" this Saturday, according to the company.

During the last interprofessional days, the network managed by the Ile-de-France region had been heavily marked by strike calls.

Many lines only operated part of the day, and some stations were closed.

However, the buses circulated better, as did the trams.

The situation had also improved over the days of mobilization, and while some lines were completely closed on January 19 and others were only open during peak hours on the 31st, traffic was more fluid this February 7.

Within the railway group, the unions were not calling for a strike, but rather to participate in demonstrations all over France.
