The French “CGT Marins” union issued notice of a renewable strike from 2 February, signalling continued tension over market structure and employment guarantees. The strikes will affect the services from Corsica Linea and La Méridionale.
Most CGT actions over the last five years have centred on territorial continuity, labour protection, and opposition to competition from Italian-flag operators in the Corsica market.
CGT protests (again) to authorisations granted to Italian-flag competitors, notably GNV on France–Maghreb routes and Corsica Ferries on Corsica services outside the public-service framework.
There was industrial action earlier this month linked to the planned sale of the RoPax KALLISTE to Turkish breakers.
