The March 7 strike marks the sixth day of mobilization against the pension reform since mid-January.
And perhaps the most massive.
In any case, this is what all the unions want, which call in a joint press release
"to harden the movement by putting
France
to
a halt
in all sectors
on March 7th".
The Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, for his part, foresees “
one of the most difficult days we have known
” since the start of the dispute.
In public transport, the minister anticipates “
very strong impacts
” and “
very great difficulty
”.
“
We know that there will be little public transport.
This is true in Île-de-France but everywhere else
, ”warned Clément Beaune on France 3. The exact and definitive forecasts on the SNCF and RATP networks will not be known until this Sunday at the end of the day. -noon.
But the two companies are already counting on very significant disruptions on March 7.
This new day of strike has above all the particularity of being renewable in a certain number of sectors, including transport, which was not the case previously.
"
Things will probably not stop on March 7 in the evening or on March 8 in the early morning
," said Clément Beaune, without being able to provide any further details.
The extent of the difficulties on the transmission lines on March 8, 9, 10 – or even beyond – remains a big unknown.
The Unsa railway specifies in a press release that it will watch “
every day the rate of strikers at the SNCF and in the companies
” of the sector as elsewhere, in order to decide day by day “
of the follow-up to be given to this movement
”.
