STRIKE RATP. A new mobilization day is scheduled for Thursday, March 23, 2023 at the RATP. The impact on Parisian public transport is likely to be significant.
[Updated March 21, 2023 at 3:47 p.m.] The main RATP unions (CGT, FO, UNSA, CFE-CGC, CFDT and Solidaires) are calling for a new day of strike action this Thursday, March 23, 2023, joining the call of the inter-union at the national level against the pension reform. Traffic may be severely disrupted on metro lines, such as RER, buses or trams. Traffic forecasts are not yet known and will be announced 24 hours before the start of the mobilization, on this page.
In addition to denouncing an “unfair, brutal and ineffective bill”, as indicated in the press release of the renewable strike published by the RATP inter-union, the striking agents intend to protect their special pension scheme, which is threatened through government reform. “The interest of having a special regime is first of all to take into account the arduousness of the work. The agents are confronted with night shifts, working underground and handling toxic products”, explained Bertrand Hammache, secretary general of the CGT RATP, at France 3.
Several tools are available on the Web to find out about upcoming traffic disruptions at RATP.
