VIDEOS – Professional road block roads, oil depots, warehouses or industrial sites. The drivers want to pressure employers on the eve of wage bargaining session.
The road will not lower their guard. As they had announced in December, the road leading professional snails operations, truck blockages in the Paris suburbs, Lyon and Caen. The movement must extend this morning, including Marseille, Bordeaux, Brest, Metz and Lille.
the movement began Sunday night at 22 pm mobilization actions to demand wage increases. Strike notices were filed in some transport companies for the day Monday and movement should be extended in the morning in Marseille, Rennes, Nantes and north of the Ile-de-France, according to unions.
Four unions grouped Inter (CGT, FO, CFTC and CFE CGC) are at the origin of this movement, while the CFDT has preferred to go it alone in December, just before Christmas. The list of claims is long: an overall increase in purchasing power of € 100 per month with a minimum hourly revaluation of 10 euros for the lowest wages, a thirteenth month salary, disease suppression waiting period , better social protection ??
“The goal is not to block the population, but to touch employers,” warns Pascal Goument outset, the CFTC-GND. “As we said before, these actions are designed to put pressure on the employers’ organizations that meet on January 20 as part of the mandatory annual negotiations (NAO),” says Thierry Douine CFTC. Three meetings are scheduled Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in logistics, freight transport and finally the passengers, the second part being the most critical, especially since there was no agreement signed since 2012.
Several professional branches are associated with this movement: the road freight transport, logistics and passenger transport by bus which separately conduct their wage negotiations. “We will make proposals, says Nicolas Paulissen, the National Federation of Road Transport (FNTR). But they will not live up to expectations, even if we have improved compared to December. “The employers’ organizations consider be unreasonable to demand a wage increase of 5% for all. “No professional sector can not grant such an increase, said the representative of the FNTR. Neither the economic context and distorted competition in Europe will allow it. “
” dialogue Loans “
The employer organizations agree that the truck drivers lost purchasing power in recent years and have often found a lower salary at the bottom of their payroll. “On long distances, refiscalisation overtime weighed on the net salary of a large number of drivers,” says a member of a professional association. For his part, Transport and Logistics France (TLF), the other employers’ organization, ensures that the will to succeed and that is in addition to the issue of salary increase, other subjects count: training, foresight?
“We hear that employers’ organizations are retrograde transport. This is false. We are exemplified by other professional sectors. We are ready for dialogue, “argues a representative of TLF. But trade unionists are not as optimistic. “If we fail to make our voices heard, says Thierry Douine CFTC, we will block the platforms of major transport groups led by makers of professional organizations.”
What sites will be affected?
The Inter CGT, FO, CFTC and CFE-CGC calls for actions across the country, with “priority targets” oil depots and fuel, central purchasing , main roads, to reach essentially “decision makers”. “fifty action points” are programmed in the night from Sunday to Monday on the entire national territory, told AFP Patrice Clos, general secretary of the federation FO / NPCU Transport and Logistics.
In the Paris region, a first block is planned at the port of Gennevilliers. “Then we’ll see how it is organized in the night,” said the trade unionist. The Roissy airport and other industrial areas north of Paris are also scheduled.
In the provinces, the cities of Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes and Lille should be affected, according to Jerome truth. Snail operations are also provided in Marseille and Nantes.
