More than a thousand in 2015 job cuts at the railway were announced Wednesday at the central works council, which voted against the budget “austerity”, contradictory to unions with the aim of improve service to users.
According to the UNSA and CFDT, the EAC members were “unanimously voted against” the draft budget, which must now be submitted Thursday to the board.
This is the first budget of the SNCF railway post-reform, held on January 1 with Réseau Ferré de France, the network manager whom she was separated since 1997.
In the new organization, Mobility SNCF, the rail operator and the lead institution will lose in 2015 through to the departures not replaced retired about 1,600 stations and railway network, in charge of infrastructure, will gain 500.
Either a negative net balance of approximately 1,100 jobs (-0.7%) on the estimated 149,000 full-time equivalents on average in 2014. This despite the 8,000 hires planned at the group level and subsidiaries (250,000 in total) in 2015.
Last year, the budget was counting on 1,400 losses (900 taking into account the jobs of the future hires). Three-quarters (1085) were performed.
“This is an austerity budget that clearly fails to fulfill the ambitions,” commented Mr. Dillenseger. A “hard budget, very tight, do not meet the challenges” to his colleague Rémi Aufrère, CFDT representative to the EAC.
Both believe that 500 jobs created for renovating roads, priority group ” that’s not enough, “at least” twice “as they believe necessary.
According to Dillenseger, deletions in the transport branch will also” lead to a degradation of service. ” “At a time when there is real expectations of improvement on the part of users, reduces the means” is he unworthy
-. 25,000 fewer jobs in 10 years –
Mr. Aufrère (CFDT) for his part denounced “the contradictions of the state protesting against the increase in rates but increased VAT, forcing us to a high level of operating margins and does not give us the resources.”
The budget provides for an increase in the wage bill by 1.9% in 2015 after 2.6% last year, according to Unsa.
For the public company, which seeks to several hundred million savings per year until 2017 contain the wage bill is a challenge.
Despite 25,000 departures not replaced between 2003 and 2013, the bulk of the earnings and contributions to it, continued to increase: 1.3 billion euros between 2003 and 2013.
This is explained by the continuous swelling the number of older Railway, the highest paid, because of the automatic career progression and the decline in their retirement age at retirement.
The CEC was also an opportunity for a “debate on the increase in tariffs,” criticized by the Minister of Ecology Ségolène Royal, says Dillenseger.
On 31 December 2014, the price of tickets was increased to 2.6%, depending on the type of train ticket but “in reality the average increase is 0.5%, close inflation, “added the union believing that Ms Royal had launched” an unnecessary and unfortunate controversy. “
For the CGT, as the railroad that users” pay “with this budget ‘the unfunded reform of the railway. ” The first union of SNCF manifest disapproval January 29 in Paris, but without calling a strike.
Unsa as the CFDT have already warned that they do not associate this action. SUD-rail must give its position Thursday.
The harmonization of railway work rules (security, rest, etc.) provided by the reform, and the desire of the head of the SNCF parallel “put flat work organization “on SNCF, however, could give unions the opportunity to pull together in 2015. Since the strike conducted in June by the CGT and SUD against the reform, they are deeply divided.
The reform, which came into effect on January 1, aims to prepare the train to a full opening to competition in 2022.
