This Thursday is marked by the day of mobilization of the French against the pension reform presented by the government. A measure announced by Elisabeth Borne is debating, the postponement of the legal age of departure set at 64 years in 2030, against 62 before the reform. But what about the railway workers?
What changes for railway workers? While Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced the content of the pension reform on January 10, the French are mobilizing this Thursday to demonstrate against it. The main measure concerns the postponement of the legal age of departure which is set at 64 years in 2030, against 62 before the reform. But what about special regimes and particularly for railway workers?
Statutory or contractual?
It all depends on what category it is. Because there are two types of staff at the SNCF: the statutory and the contractual. For the first, it is the agents of the transport company who were hired before the 2020 reform. Today, these leave at least at 52 years old if they are drivers and at 57 years old for the others. What will change for them is that they will have to work two more years.
The other category is the contractors. They correspond to all employees hired after 2020 at SNCF. They can retire like most French people at 62. For them, the reform means that they will have to work two more years and retire at 64, whatever their profession.
Concretely, after the reform, a driver hired in 2019 will be able to retire at age 54, while his colleague, also a driver but hired in 2020, will be entitled to it ten years later, at age 64.
