Paris metro operator RATP employees hold a banner on December 24, 2019 outside French train operator SNCF headquarters in Saint-Denis, near Paris, during a demonstration on the 20th day of a nationwide multi-sector movement over French government’s plan to overhaul the country’s retirement system.
Only a fraction of high-speed and inter-city trains ran on Christmas Eve, even fewer on the holiday itself. The main train stations in Paris were closed for the morning with suburban connections slashed and merely two out of 16 metro lines — the only driverless ones — providing any service. But workers baulk at the inclusion of a so-called pivot age of 64 until which people would have to work to earn a full pension — two years beyond the official retirement age.Others, especially railway workers, are angry at plans to do away with special regimes that make early retirement provisions for categories of employees who work unusual hours or do physically demanding jobs.
The strikers, too, are losing out, forfeiting their salary for days not worked — 21 days by Wednesday.
