In the transports
The Minister Delegate for Transport, Clément Beaune, feared a “real hassle” in transport for the day of Tuesday March 7. The traffic forecasts unveiled this Sunday afternoon by the SNCF prove him right.

Only 20 % trains will run in France this Tuesday, and it will be even less in Bourgogne Franche-Comté, since only one in six trains will be in circulation.
One in five trains will run on the TGV network and between France and Switzerland. The Intercités will all be at a standstill. On the TER network, every six trips will be insured in Bourgogne Franche-Comté. And some lines will be at a standstill…

And another strike notice has already been filed by Divia staff for Wednesday.

Other school groups affected in the Dijon region
Once again, many schools in Côte-d’Or will be affected by the movement on Tuesday. In issoise region, for example, the strike movement promises to be very closely followed, in particular by the staff of the college of Is-sur-Tille and the elementary school of Marcilly-sur-Tille. However, no demonstration is planned in the streets of these municipalities. As for schools, what we know to date is that the Marcilly primary school will be completely closed.
In that of Is-sur-Tille, four classes will be closed and in kindergarten, all Atsem will be on strike. And at the college, the principal warned that the management of the students will be “the absence of School Life on the one hand even though more than half of the teachers normally present this Tuesday will not ensure their lessons the absence of School Life on the one hand even though more than half of the teachers normally present on Tuesday will not be teaching.

In terms of school transport in the Mobigo regional network, many lines will be disrupted or delayed, and some will not run at all, because of strikes in schools (as in the cantons of Châtillon-sur-Seine, Montbard, Semur-en-Auxois, Talant, Saint-Apollinaire, Longvic, Fontaine-les-Dijon, or even Brazey-en-Plaine).

Disruptions to roads and other areas?
In France, truckers intend to mobilize by blocking logistics platforms, industrial zones, snail operations around major cities. Will that of Dijon be affected? Impossible to know for now.
In industry and the food industry, the unions have also called for a shutdown. Like many other sectors, public or private. In Côte-d’Or, firefighters and CHU agents will still be mobilized.
