Blocage de la circulation des trains à Thiès : La décision ferme des anciens cheminots

The former railway workers remained firm in their decision to block train traffic in Thiès. The general secretary of retired railway workers, Habib Gaye, announced that this rally at the Thiès train station was part of their ongoing action plan, which was suspended pending information from the authorities. "Since nothing has been done, we have returned to the train station to paralyze traffic and tell the authorities to listen to us. We are demanding the repayment of our pensions and are asking to meet with the State and IPRES as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer, because we're fed up. We will block train traffic until we receive a favorable response from the authorities. We have given this new regime enough time to find a solution to this problem," Mr. Gaye insisted.

According to him, the state owes these former railway workers more than 5 billion CFA francs. "We are more than 800 fathers who have been chasing what we are owed for years. We need this money to survive," he added.

    Un état responsable comme le disait Sonko lors de la campagne législative en dénonçant la situation de ses vieux retraités est inadmissible
    Et pourtant depuis qu'il est premier ministre n'a rien fait du tout
    Donc il est lui aussi irresponsable 🙂

    Contrôle de leurs carrières ! il y a 2 jours

    Du banditisme de la part de cette poignée de " cheminots " . Sont il S vraiment d'anciens salariés au sens du Code du Travail. On attend la réaction des chemins de fer ou de l'ancienne Transail ou plus proche de nous de L'IPRES.
