Minimum service in public transport: we explain you in [video]

Is there a minimum transport service in the event of a strike?

How can the right to strike be reconciled with the continuity of public service, principles of constitutional value?

That is the purpose of August 21, 2007. This law applies to buses, subways, TER... Without introducing a minimum service, the act contains several provisions.

A strike notice may be given only after negotiations have been organized between the employer and the trade unions. If negotiations fail, employees must declare themselves on strike 48 hours before the start of a strike. After 8 days of strike, the employer or a trade union organization can organize a vote on his lawsuit. The company must define the priority services to be provided (adapted transport plan). It has the possibility of reassigning non-striking staff. The transport company must inform users in advance in the event of a strike or foreseeable disturbance. It may be required to reimburse users in the event of failure to implement a suitable transport plan. Finally, the text reaffirms that strike days cannot give rise to payment.
