Impact Level: Notification

Locations Affected: Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France, France

Tracking Id: RINTP2724235058

Description:

As per reports, while Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF) has stated that the Transilien network, including several RER lines or sections within Île-de-France, will operate normally, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT)-Cheminots and the SNCF’s leading union have announced plans to continue protest actions throughout June, and additional strike actions are planned on 04, 05 and 11 June.

• This includes strike actions by various categories of railway staff, signalling persistent labour unrest. On 04 June, a strike by train drivers is aligned with a roundtable discussion concerning bonus structures.
• On 05 June, a broader strike involving all railway personnel, covering demands for salary revisions and enhanced working conditions, is expected.
• On 11 June, conductors are expected to mobilise independently. This schedule indicates organised and escalating actions aimed at influencing SNCF’s management decisions.

Impact:

• Train service cancellations and delays on TER and Transilien lines are expected especially on 04, 05 and 11 June.
• Significant service gaps are likely in Île-de-France, with regional disparities based on union participation.
• Disruption to daily mobility may affect access to workplaces, educational institutions, and appointments.
• Potential for reduced workforce attendance and logistics bottlenecks are expected, particularly in Paris and major regional hubs.
• Increased demand for alternative transport modes may lead to congestion and delays. Operational productivity may be adversely affected in sectors reliant on just-in-time staff or delivery systems.

Recommendations:

• Advised to monitor official SNCF (https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/) and Transilien communication channels for real-time updates.
• Recommended to adjust travel plans, explore alternative commuting options (carpooling, bicycles, buses), or work remotely where possible.
• Recommended to allow for extra time in transit and consider avoiding non-essential travel on announced strike dates.
• Advised to enable and promote remote working policies for employees based in affected regions. Recommended to reassess and adapt logistics and delivery schedules for critical operations during 04, 05 and 11 June.
• Advised to communicate contingency measures with clients and staff in advance to minimize service disruptions.
