French rail union calls for more strike action in June
Briefly

French rail workers are facing ongoing strike actions as the CGT-Chéminots union has announced plans for additional walkouts on June 4, 5, and 11 to demand better pay and working conditions from management. Previous strikes during the May 8th public holiday caused limited disruption, primarily impacting local services. However, with broader participation expected in June, particularly from train drivers and ticket inspectors, the potential for significant disruption increases, especially during the busy travel season around the June 9th holiday.
Ongoing strike actions from French rail workers represent growing unrest, with unions calling for participation across sectors to demand better pay and working conditions.
The CGT-Chéminots union plans additional strikes on June 4, 5, and 11, aiming to influence management towards negotiations that align with workers' demands.
The strikes will coincide with the June 9th public holiday, a busy travel time, which raises concerns over potential disruptions across France's rail network.
Striking workers need only provide 48 hours notice, creating uncertainty about the extent of disruption expected from these upcoming walkouts; impact from previous strikes was less severe.
