Blocage de la circulation des trains à Thiès :Les raisons de la colère des anciens cheminots
The exchanges between the former railway workers and the Director General of the Senegal Railways (CFS) were very tense. After years of unsuccessfully demanding the repayment of their retirement pensions, the former CFS workers decided this Monday to paralyze the railway's operations. They gathered and occupied the track at the train station to prevent trains from running. Sitting almost on the ground, these old workers are determined in their fight. They are ready to die to win their cause. And when the Director General of the CFS, Ibrahima Bâ, learned of these movements, he informed the prefect of the Thiès department, Mame Less Cabou.
The two went to the scene to talk with the former railway workers. And their discussions were tough. Because while these authorities were trying to calm things down and convince these protesters to suspend their fight, the former workers turned a deaf ear. These old workers no longer want negotiations from anyone. All they want is the immediate payment of their pensions, which they have been chasing for years. "We are not going to free the railway. We will spend all day here to paralyze train operations. Let the police come and throw tear gas at us, but we will not give up. We are ready to die to get what we are owed. We do not want any more negotiations or promises," the former railway workers insisted.
In response, the prefect of the Thiès department, Mame Less Cabou, reassured the former railway workers that Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has taken their problems into account and that a solution will be found. He therefore asked his retirees to remain calm and always promote dialogue. For his part, the Director General of the CFS promised to do his best to resolve this problem. "Since I took over, I have held many meetings with the former railway workers and I have committed to supporting them in this fight. This problem is between the railway workers and the Ministry of Finance, but it also concerns the CFS. I know the difficulties you are facing. I even feel sad every time I sit down with you," said Ibrahima Bâ. Before guaranteeing that the government is currently studying this issue and that it is moving in the right direction.

Comment un état responsable peut faire autant de mal à ses pauvres retraités
C'est toi qui n'est pas un cheminots
Les cheminots sont un et indivisible
En cas de non versement c'est la faute de l'employeur. Ce dernier doit être condamné par la justice.
D'ailleurs j'en profite pour rappeler que tout travailleur doit demander à recevoir annuellement un relevé de ses cotisations. Il ne faut jamais faire confiance aux employeurs sur ce sujet.
