"The four main unions representing workers on the Paris Metro, bus, tram and train network have filed their September strike notice, making severe disruption on the capital's public transport network likely. The four unions - CGT, FO, Unsa Mobilite and CFE-CGC - between them represent over 70 percent of workers on the RATP greater Paris transport network, meaning that severe disruption is likely."
"A letter from the unions details that: "For workers, the 2026 Budget is a profound injustice. "The attacks on our rights are unacceptable - the axing of two public holidays, cuts in healthcare reimbursement, stigmatisation of sick leave and the degradation of our working conditions." France's main unions have called for a nationwide 'day of action' on September 18th, meaning that disruption is likely in key services across the country."
The four main RATP unions — CGT, FO, Unsa Mobilite and CFE-CGC — filed a strike notice running from Sept 17 at 18:00 to Sept 19 at 07:00. The unions represent over 70% of RATP staff, making severe disruption on Metro, bus, tram and RER A/B services likely, including evening rush-hour and night services. The unions cite the 2026 Budget as a profound injustice, naming the axing of two public holidays, cuts in healthcare reimbursement, stigmatization of sick leave and degradation of working conditions. Air traffic controllers and some SNCF unions will join Sept 18 nationwide action, raising the risk of flight cancellations and broader service disruption.
