For the minister, the impact of the mobilization “will be significant in transport”, even if the executive negotiates sector by sector.
The unions are playing big on the day of mobilization on March 7. If their objective is to obtain a rollback from the government on the pension reform, the executive expects a strong turnout. “March 7 will be hard“, thus mentioned this Tuesday morning the Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, to Sud Radio.
Refineries, railway workers, garbage collectors… several sectors have already called for a renewable strike. “We will try to avoid it being hard and long“, added the minister, who does not exclude “a significant impact on transport on March 7“.

However, he is pleased to have started discussions in December with public service companies “to better organize internally“, referring to the RATP or the SNCF. “I strive sector by sector to ensure that the mobilization is the least strong“, he indicated, and “this social climate has meant that there are no major difficulties in the road sector“. Clément Beaune also recalls that after “pension reform, things must also be done through social dialogue“.
