SNCF Unveils 2026 Pay Offer as Strike Leaves Most Trains Running

The package averages 2.6% in raises for 2026 and will apply only if two unions sign the accord.

Overview

  • SNCF detailed a 2026 pay plan with a 0.5% general increase split between July and October, a new 0.6% guaranteed annual progression, and average revaluations reaching 2.6%.
  • Workers are slated to receive a €650 value‑sharing bonus with €400 already paid in December and the balance due in March, plus an average €1,100 profit‑sharing payout depending on the business unit.
  • Management says the proposal requires signatures from two unions, which have two weeks to decide, with UNSA indicating early support for parts of the package.
  • TGV and Intercités services ran normally during Tuesday’s action, with limited regional disruptions reported, notably on some Transilien lines in Île‑de‑France and in Occitanie.
  • CGT demands a 12% increase and a thirteenth month while SUD‑Rail seeks a €400 monthly raise for all staff, citing stronger profits as leverage, as management points to cumulative pay gains of 16.4% in recent years and minimums set 10% above the Smic.
