  • La menace de blocages routiers en France se précise
    Les négociations entre associations patronales et syndicats du transport routier français ont échoué mercredi après-midi. La pierre d’achoppement principale était la révision des conditions sociales. Du côté du patronat on affiche une prudente confiance, mais du côté syndical, on est - officiellement en tout cas - très pessimiste. A la demande du patronat, de nouvelles négociations se tiendront ce vendredi matin. La CFDT et la CGT ont toutefois annoncé le maitien de leur préavis de grève à partir du ce dimanche 24 novembre à 22h. Les transporteurs néerlandais ont d’ores et déjà réagi et écrit à leur ministre des Trasports afin qu’il intervienne auprès de Paris et de Bruxelles pour que la libre circulation demeure garantie en France.
