The prospect of seeing a few rare metros running in full confinement was beginning to frighten some.
She finally called the RATP unions to reason.
They announced at the end of last week the suspension of the strike initially planned this Thursday, November 19.
The strike call was launched at the end of October to protest against the competition between the RATP network, which is due to start with buses in Paris in 2025. The main unions of the public enterprise (CGT, UNSA, SAT, Solidaires and South) then called all for mobilization.
Flashback this weekend.
The same unions, in a joint press release, announced that "faced with the health context which is harshly imposed on our fellow citizens", they have decided "to suspend the strike slogan initially planned for November 19".
RER, subways and buses will therefore run normally on Thursday.
"Wise decision", reacted on Twitter the association of users FNAUT Ile-de-France, "especially as the problem put forward concerns changes in 2025".
"At RATP, the agents have been assuming their responsibilities since the first day of this health crisis," insist the trade unions, which therefore met again at the beginning of November to take stock of the situation after this first call for a strike.
They therefore decided to give it up… temporarily.
Still opposed to competition
The UNSA, CGT, SAT, Solidaires and Sud unions will indeed see each other again “as quickly as possible”.
In the meantime, they "reaffirm, once again, their total opposition to the implementation of the project to dismantle the EPIC RATP
(public industrial and commercial establishment, Editor's note)
and to decrees relating to the transfer of RATP personnel" in case of transition to competition.
"Faced with such an attack, the government must expect a very strong mobilization of RATP agents", warn the unions.
Decided in 2009, under the conditions specified by the last mobility orientation law (LOM) promulgated at the end of December 2019, the competition of the RATP is still awaiting the latest application decrees to know under what precise conditions the employees of the The public establishment would be transferred in the event of loss of the Parisian network by the current public authority.

The law provides in particular that the agents would take with them a "social backpack" equivalent to their current status in the event of going to competition.
The competition will start with the bus network (18,000 agents potentially concerned) in 2025, but the calls for tenders will be launched before.
The metro will follow later, beyond 2030.
